Njouba: A New Metasearch Engine

September 18, 2008

In a conversation today, I learned about a new Web search engine. The system is Njouba, possibly operated by Ben Ahmed or in Roubaix, France. My research yielded this information. If anyone has more information, please, post it using the comments section to this Web log. With a little poking around, the service may be the work of a sharp programmer responsible for a number of useful services, including an MP3 search engine here.

The About section of the Njouba Web site says,

Njouba is an intelligent Search engine designed for crawling the Web, indexing documents containing information you’re looking for (by specifying keywords) that enables you to find specific information.

I ran several test queries and the results seemed to track with Google’s results. One feature I liked was the tabbed interface which makes narrowing the query to a particular type of content easy. Image search seemed to be inoperable when I tested the system on September 16, 2008, from Paris. The book search returned unusual results for the query “William Shakespeare”.

You can access the system here, and I will add it to my list of metasearch engines.

Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and everything. But imagine if you added some great visuals or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and clips, this site could definitely be one of the best in its niche. Superb blog!
