Gregory's ServerMy impression is that the selection of test sites is curated?
For an objective evaluation, a random subset would be more realistic, even if it returns a lot of junk.

 I tried just one test, which is always the most difficult. The history of hotels, architecture of hotels, regulation of hotels, hotels slept in by famous people etc. etc. are impossible to probe using a search engine because the first 100,000 pages will try to sell a hotel room.  That, hopefully, is something that this will be better at than most engines once the index is broader, since it tries to focus on noncommercial, independent sites. |

Well, the initial index was seeded with RSS feeds I follow, which are definitely curated, and I'm still trying to get the discovery code to where I'm satisfied with it, so your impression is unfortunately fairly accurate. :P
That said if there's an area you see underrepresented send me some links to good sites/blogs and I'll index them. (Planning to add a better process for this, but with the site only just now public it wasn't a priority.)
