there are one million and three hundred thousand flowers on the internet
A comparison of image searches on Google, MSN, Altavista, AllTheWeb, PicSearch, and A9.
Dew searches for “flowers”, and its french translation “fleurs” on each search engine, counts the results and the dead links among them, rates the results’ pertinence, the search engine’s ergonomy and its speed to display images from its cache.
A commenter talks about Devilfinder, which claims it’s searching for images on Google. When I tried it, the top search results were very similar to Altavista’s and much unlike Google’s. Confusing.
One thing seems certain though: there are less than two millions “flowers” on the internet.
Is there one for you today?
