good name for a search engine

[gwlubin]

there are some great search engines around, with some great names.

if you were establishing a new search engine and had the job of coming up with a fresh, meaningful and dynamic name, what would that name be?

there is a small prize for the winner!

I LOVED the name Loobie!
I had no idea how they could come up with that! But then the word "loogie" came to mind, which means a giant nappy slimy phlem ball that was coughed up.... http://www.aota.net/ubb/smile.gif lol

Ummm..... how about BeanSearch.com? I already have that domain registered, too.

Lighthouse... uh...
Searchlight,
MagnaFind,
Lookout,...

All for now but I'll think of more http://www.aota.net/ubb/smile.gif

as i thought!

some of you are not taking this seriously!

perhaps i should mention that the prize is a copy of the cd alkaemy by alkaemy.

paul's suggestion so far have been the best. at least someone is making an effort!

I'm trying to be serious... it just won't work http://www.aota.net/ubb/smile.gif Some of those might be cool, though. Some are probably taken, I haven't checked. But feel free to use them or slap me, either way is fine http://www.aota.net/ubb/smile.gif

Well, the domain names are taken (you didn't say it had to be an available domain), but I like "Serendipity", which is something special you find when you're looking for something else.

there have been some very good suggestions. i must now take some rest.###

leafwind; seredipity is an excellent suggestion, you have done very well.

while we in europe sleep, you in the west must continue your deliberations.

tomorrow is another day.

all will be decided tomorrow.

everything is and will be ok.....

[Armand]

All I can come up with is:

SearchMaster
WebSeeker
WebScan
Tracker

Not sure if taken or what.

[gwlubin]

it is my pleasing duty to announce that with her excellent suggestion of 'serendipity' leafwind is the winner of yesterdays competition 'name a search engine'

i am sure that you will all want to join me in congratulating her.

[Deb]

Well it looks like LeafWind has experienced some Serendipity herself http://www.aota.net/ubb/smile.gif She came to the forums looking for 'something' and found herself the winner of an Alkaemy CD instead http://www.aota.net/ubb/wink.gif

Congrats!

Deb

[LeafWind]
