  2. The most popular and widely used application on the World Wide Web today is the growing number of search engines that come now-a-days with unmatched features and help the web surfers to find the best quality and spam-free content while they are accessing the web. Most of the search engines functioning today show a lot of spam-oriented results in the top 3-4 pages for many searches. For presenting a solution to such alarming situation that could be threat to the web space in the coming years, the new search engine blekkohas been designed and developed after the research of many years so that the information-seekers get only the piece of information they are looking for while simultaneously reducing the inclusion of any kind of unimportant links.

  3. The main differentiating feature of the search engine is that it makes use of “slash tags” that are a way to narrow down the spectrum of search made by the users thus giving them only relevant and high quality information. They are a way for the users to “spin” their search results using a variety of filters. Besides offering a wide range of relevant slash tags, the users can create their own slash tags, tap into other user’s slash tags or add sites to existing slash tags.

  4. An excellent technique for filtering the spam from the search results • There is a great feature provided by the search engine to its user base and that is, filtering the spam or irrelevant links from the search results very easily using an excellent way that comes in the form of a button titled “spam”. This feature lets the user click the button and never see the results from the source that contains spam-oriented information. • The main objective of the new search engine is to deliver only the most relevant pages for any search query but the search engine’s way of achieving this goal is different from other search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing. While Google relies on its search engine spiders to crawl and indexes the vast spaces of the web and also personalizes searches per user, the new search engine being introduced relies on the user community to find useful sites and add them to the relevant slash tags.

  5. The search engine is a great deal for SEO purposes • The new search engine blekkooffers a nice set of free SEO tools and has upgraded their crawler and indexer to provide more up to date information specifically for SEO purposes. It enables the users to see the Internet the way a search engine sees it, especially what the rest of the Internet is saying about an URL. • The SEO data being offered by the search engine include page content, Meta data, duplicate text and inbound link counts. It also implements a technique to eliminate the inbound links that are no longer live and duplicate content that is no longer available.

  6. Web Grepper : A new intelligent feature introduced by the search engine • The tool of web grepper provided by the search engine allows users to run searches on the entire indexes (more than 20 billion URLs) of the search engine to reveal the data that you could not find using the keywords. In other words, you can search the information in the actual HTML coding of a web page. • The tool web grepper is based on a command-line text matching search tool originally developed for UNIX named grep. For using the feature, you have to simply head towards the search engine homepage and enter the slash tag /webgrep into the search box.

  7. The exacting privacy options for the users of the search engine • The search engine hold onto personal data of the users for only 48 hours –which is substantially very less than major search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing. The search engine creates a record of visits that typically includes a searcher’s IP address, location, browser, language, the date and time of visit and similar information. • The search engine uses an option “HTTPS preferred” that automatically send searchers to secure, HTTPS websites when the user clicks a link in the search engine search results. Secondly, the options “No Ads” and “ Super privacy ” allow users to make a search without ads and limit logging of search queries.

  8. Conclusion • Unlike Google, which uses its right rail for a combination of associated ads, news and images, the new search engine displays suggested slash tags. To the right of the search results being generated, there is a link “slash tag these results” which takes you through the steps of creating a slash tag for the results. • The features of the slash tags offered by the search engine blekkoallow a targeted search among a pool of relevant sources. The main motto of the search engine is “slash the web” and the centerpiece of the slogan and its chief innovation is the concept of slash tags.
