New Search Engine Challenges Yahoo and Google

There is a new kid on the block, AnooX is a search engine that claims to produce better search results than Yahoo or Google. First the machine generates the search results and then continuously rearranges the results based on the majority vote of people. Then the search results are continuously rearranged for each given keyword, as per the majority vote.

In order to prove that AnooX is the better search engine, developers have issued a challenge to a contest to Yahoo and Google to see who actually delivers more accurate search results. Yahoo or Google representatives must respond to this challenge by May 30th and AnooX invited any 3rd party that wishes to officiate this challenge to contact them. Conditions for this contest can be reviewed here: http://www.anoox.com/challenge-conditions.jsp.

For more information about AnooX and the challenge check oh:

See for yourself whether AnooX is better than the other search engines at http://www.anoox.com

Where on earth do they come up with these search engine's names?! It is almost like the more bizarre is better.
I tried AnooX, and the search results were pretty good. Is it better than Google or Yahoo, I don't know. I couldn't really think of anything really difficult to search for. The trick will be whether I remember to go to AnooX when I am trying to find that obscure piece of information that I am struggling to find.
