We are not afraid of Google says Quintura

December 4th, 2007

Quintura named alternative search engine of the year

altsearchengines.com had narrowed down the field of alternative search engines from over 100 to 10 in their search for the best. All of the contenders have excellent alternative (other than Google, Yahoo etc) search offerings.

Criteria
Many qualities were considered. Market share, popular vote (on altsearchengines.com) innovation, leadership and recognition.

Quintura.com was named altsearchengine of the year for a number of reasons. Including being named one of the top 100 websites by PC Magazine in November

But what put them in the top position, is their attitude. Quintura’s new corporate slogan is “We are not afraid of Google”

Widget
Unfortunately the Quintura widget wasn’t part of the consideration. I find the Quintura widget to be an exceptional widget that delivers a unique search option using visual ques for suggestions that you might not have thought of.
Related searches are displayed as you mouse over already displayed results. Some of the results include a favicon that a particular site may use.
This is something that I don’t think the other contenders offer. they may have widgets but none as cool as this one.
