	WiseNut - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		It uses its own database, and when it started it was highly regarded by a number of critics.
		Despite delivering good relevancy and having a large database of over 1.5 billion URI s, WiseNut remains a small player as does parent company Looksmart.
		It created a business that depended nearly totally on revenue from one client, considered by most observers as an elementary business strategy error committed by deposed Looksmart CEO Evan Thornley.

		Looksmart bought the search engine in April 2002 with the aim of introducing a major search engine.
		Despite delivering good relevancy and having a large database of over 1.5 billion URI s, WiseNut remains a small player.
		It uses Google, WiseNut and Fast search engines to find the links that will be checked in order to know if they are still valid.

		Like Teoma, WiseNut is a crawler-based search engine that attracted attention when it appeared on the scene in 2001.
		Unlike Teoma, WiseNut has a large database, making it nearly as comprehensive as Google, AllTheWeb and Inktomi.
		However LookSmart bought WiseNut in April 2002 and supposedly did some major updates in late 2003.

		WiseNut already has a US version, a Korean version, and now WiseNut Japan is online.
		One of the first questions we all had for WiseNut was what their revenue model was going to be.
		One of the biggest differences between WiseNut and every other search engine is the fact that they have chosen to use a Microsoft Operating system as the platform for all search engine operations.

	The Wisenut Framejob (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Freshly launched new Google contender Wisenut has met with a good deal of preliminary applause: to date, the media buzz has focused on their lean-and-mean, no-frills interface, their huge database (approximately 1.5 billion webpages), and their highly relevant results.
		So Wisenut is not enforcing usage of a proprietary meta tag to prevent caching like Google (which is a bit of a nuisance in its own right); nor does it display dated cached content with broken links and busted JavaScript code.
		It would, however, be a gesture of goodwill and smart PR if Wisenut chose to point out this possibility to those webmasters who prefer to de-frame their content.

	BT LookSmart Adds Wisenut To Search Directory Service
		WiseNut uses a relevancy ranking system for its searches that measures both the relative importance of the pages it finds and then the relevance of the pages within a given search.
		Wisenut only crawled in Sept.............Looksmart have advised Wisenut will refresh its index every month beginning in Oct and even a shorter time frame in the months ahead.
		Wisenut is pretty slow to me. Worthless results, but what else would you expect.

	Wisenut, the Google Killer? Nah...
		Wisenut is two things, really -- a new search engine that makes its official debut today, and search technology company founded by Yeogirl Yun, co-founder and former CTO of mySimon.
		Wisenut the search engine is actually very good, and those of you who swear by Google alone will be pleasantly surprised by this new alternative.
		Wisenut's public search engine is just one part of their overall business, expected to generate only about 20% of revenues.

	WiseNut Review on Search Engine Showdown
		WiseNut does ignore frequently-occurring words such as 'the,' 'of', 'and', and 'or'.
		WiseNut displays the title, 1-2 line extract, number of and link to other matches from the same site, the URL, and [Sneak-a-Peek].
		WiseNut clusters results by site, but aids the searcher by giving the number of other matches from the same site.

	What's up with Wisenut?
		On some Wisenut searches I've checked recently, they're still listing pages that disappeared over two years ago, and they apparently haven't followed the 301s to their replacements.
		Wisenut does farely poorly on their Alexa rankings.
		The lack of press that wisenut or their parent company Looksmart have gotten recently doesn't bode well for a name that doesn't have much name recognition outside of technical circles.

	LookSmart Revives Wisenut Search Engine
		Last year, Wisenut was often mentioned in the media as a potential "Google killer," an underdog with novel technology that could potentially unseat the champ of web search.
		Wisenut's index currently consists of just over 900 million documents, indexed within the past 60 days.
		The media is heralding Wisenut as the scrappy underdog that's supposedly going to topple Google from its "throne" as the king of web search.

	Wisenut Update
		Wisenut did originally tout itself to be incredibly scaleable in the beginning as well, whether this was true or not I don't know.
		I've seen Wisenut's bot in the log file as recently as this week, but the pages listed in their db are all old -- from May of this year at the latest.
		Wisenut has been dormant since they were aquired by Looksmart.

	Search Engine Map - Wisenut - Metamend (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Created in 1999 by the co-founder and former chief technology officer of mySimon, and Yeogirl Yun, WiseNut was officially launched on September 5, 2001.
		WiseNut also factors in the number of links to the website, the value of the website, and the page that they're coming from, which should all be factors in any search engine optimization strategy.
		One neat feature of WiseNut is the "Sneak-A-Peek" feature, which opens a framed window 1" tall within the search result, letting you see a live image (as opposed to cached) of any website within the search results.

	WiseNut
		WiseNut was one of two new general Web search engines to come on the scene in mid-2001.
		WiseNut is not case-sensitive, so it should not be a first-choice when searching many acronyms.
		WiseNut is in its infancy and therefore shows a lot of weaknesses, especially the lack of advanced features and retrieval numbers that are not reflective of its claimed size.

	Wired News: Searching for Google's Successor
		WiseNut, an up-and-coming search engine launched in May, improves upon the relevance of Google's search results through a context-sensitive ranking algorithm, which, according to WiseNut, Google lacks.
		WiseNut's context-sensitive ranking algorithm examines a page's links and the text on the page, compares the two, and puts the most relevant results first.
		WiseNut also groups Web pages from the same site under one result listing, allowing more results to be shown on the same page.

	LookSmart To Buy WiseNut
		LookSmart is a human-powered directory, and like all such directories, it has a weakness in that it may not have answers to unusual or uncommon queries.
		As for the WiseNut site, it appears that it will be maintained as a standalone "showcase" site for the immediate future.
		Thornley said that efforts will be made in the near future to refresh the WiseNut index more frequently, which has been the crawler's big weakness, to date.

		Looksmart to buy Wisenut : Often during these Internet years companies with exciting technology have been swallowed up by larger companies - never to be seen again.
		The Wisenut technology could help in presenting search results - and would be better than Looksmart's alphabetic listing.
		There may be some improvement in Looksmart, but I'm doubtful that it will compensate for the loss of a very promising search enginge.

	LookSmart to Buy WiseNut

		Their biggest claim to fame is that impressive "1,571,413,207 Web pages and counting!" claim right at the top of the homepage.
		That casts a huge shadow of doubt over both their 1.5 billion claim and their performance in our comparison of search engine database sizes.
