Why is Searchers so good?
Searchers has picked up where others left off, and we've brought the next generation of search to the UK.
Our technology indexes more UK web pages than anyone else, and only lists those read of prominence to the UK.
Pages are found and classified using our unique natural-language processing system – we don't just rely on word-matching techniques, we have incorporated new elements.
So, Searchers analyses what each page actually means in relation to the whole website, rather than ranking keywords by frequency and position.

Sounds impressive, however I tried typing 'Accringiton' to see what happens and Searchers came back with:
Quote:
Whoops!
Your search for: accringiton did not match any web results.
• Please check your spelling
• Search again using different keywords
• Try using fewer words
• Search on more general terms
|
So I tried it on:
Yahoo
Lycos
Alta Vista
Hotbot
Alltheweb
Ask
Bing
and of course the hated Google
All either realised my spelling mistake and corrected it or asked me if I meant Accrington.
Seems our Local search engine is not up to much. Reminds me of the early days.
