And thousands of them have in fact saved and used searchrolls created by others. Many of our users also put the custom search engines on their blogs or sites which makes a lot of sense (and is a great way for later adopters to come across the service and use it without either signing up or even creating a search engine of their own). I am proud of the fact that we built this on top of the Yahoo API in order to give people the fast and powerful results they expect while giving them the ability to further customize their experience. Tough to criticize a product without trying it and then to question a business model while criticizing the effort for being frugal and efficient, no? (I mean even in the blogosphere...) :-) I can’t convince you of course, but I am hoping that our growing userbase will.

Your business model is based on the assumption that the public will share - I do not see it happened. The following link discuss it better than me: http://www.buzzmachine.com/index.php/2005/12/05/local-aint-easy-cont/ 2. Thay you developed real search methodology and not just ride on Yahoo capabilities. Dave,

It's an option. And there is no VC money involved. And so far, about 15,000 personalized search engines have been created. The sharing is a good way to discover new resources or find information based on the domain expertise of someone else. For example, I don't know much about digital cameras. But my friend does. So I used his search engine to pull up reviews and it greatly shortened the duration of and improved my search experience. You don’t have to share your searches. It’s an option.
