FyberSearch Search Engine Review


by Paul Flyer

FyberSearch is a small search engine that offers two unique pieces of functionality.

I had originally hoped that FyberSearch would help me search for feeds. While it has this functionality, the results returned are web page related not feed related. The search for a quality feed search will continue…

HOWEVER! I did come across two tiny tidbits that could be helpful.

First, Tutorial Search. Type in a topic and FyberSearch will return webpages that are tutorial related. Very handy indeed. It is not perfect and it seems to be more helpful with technology related items than other topics. For example, a search for “drywall” returned nothing. Whereas a search for “HTML” resulted in multiple pages.

Second, Gheto Search. Horrible choice for a name, but the functionality is fun. Here is the twist:

The last web page you see in the normal search results is the first web page you see in GhetoSearch.

It essentially turns searching upside down so that the unpopular items are shown first. But isn’t the bottom of the barrel the least relevant? Yes maybe it is. However, I have often found some gems on the 10th, 15th, 20th page of Google. So with FyberSearch, they do the work of turning the barrel upside down for me.

Maybe FyberSearch won’t become your favorite search engine, but at least there are two items that savvy searchers can tuck away in their back pockets.
