Pottsey Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Finding it pretty useful for some search’s but not as good as Yahoo/Google for others. Not really sure how to describe it. nothing like Yahoo/Google http://www.redzee.com 1
DevilsAdvocate Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Useful if you're not sure on an exact url but remember vaugely what the page looked like!
localzuk Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 It should be popular with that giraffe thing. Everyone in this office went awww isn't it cute?! when they saw it just.
tom_newton Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 My eyes hurt. Can I go back to google now?
Uraken Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 it has built in porn etc blockers though so could be useful in schools
Guest kerrymoralee9280 Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Doesn't google also have something called a 'SafeSearch'? Is that not the same job. There was a saying never re-invent the wheel, and this isn't really reinventing the wheel. It's unique. But I also like my little saying of "why should I get a new car when my 10 year old Clio works fine!" Hope you followed the rant, in laymans terms, Google gets me from A to B and has done for many years, so theres no need to change.
enjay Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 I can see this would be useful to revisit a site, for example in your History list, but not for the first time round. I'm not sure that you can judge how useful a web site will be based on a thumbnail view of the page; even if you can, it certainly takes longer than skim-reading the summary text in "regular" search engines (especially since the wheel button can't be used to scroll though them). Considered opinion? Cute, but rubbish!
bizzel Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 The main problem isn't the animation, it's that it takes too long to load those thumbnails and actually show me some results. It took several times longer than google for me to find something relevant about ISA server.
contink Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Well spysweeper just jumped up and blocked access to the site as a known malware host... Hmmm... worth checking I wonder?
Geoff Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Failed to infect my Linux desktop with anything. I feel left out
enjay Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 it has built in porn etc blockers though so could be useful in schools It might have its own filtering, but you can still see filtered sites through it, for example YouTube. Our ISP blocks images from coming up in Google Images if the image is held on a filtered server, but none of that luxury with Redzee so you could end up getting some inappropriate shots coming through.
Guest kerrymoralee9280 Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 Bear in mind it is a Beta and isn't fully functioning yet
