FuzzFind - I say Pass, Mark says Post! Who’s right?
At AltSearchEngines, we are often approached by search engines that we feel are “not ready for Prime Time.” FuzzFind had me stumped, so I asked “Mark” what he thought. “Post it,” he said. Who’s right?

I mentioned Fuzzfind at the back end of last year (http://tinyurl.com/2ycr5k) I liked the addition of del.icio.us and thought that the slider was a nice addition. Which actually appeared about a week after I first reviewed it, so they’re developing quickly! The display is neat and doesn’t get in the way. Sure, it’s lacking in some areas, but it works and gives the user a level of control that other search engines don’t provide. I’ve seen a lot worse, and I’m sure you have as well!

Like Phil, I mentioned FuzzFind on my blog at http://tinyurl.com/2bp6hm. I love the slider bar, which appeared after I had blogged FuzzFind. But I really like the way it shows me where each result has been found in each search tool by placing icons and numbers to the left of each entry in the results list. As I say in my blog I don’t know why that particular and very simple feature impresses me but it does. Search is very personal.
