So Im fed up with my Google homepage. It works well but its time for a change.
So I chose a few other potential hps and have been testing em out til I got bored/annoyed enough to change them.
www.hotbot.co.uk
+ Funky Colour scheme & you got the choice of several designs
+ Custom Web Filters that you can save
+ "Chocolate" gets a nice mix of places to buy choccys and sites with facts/info on chocolate
+ Can exlude sites from being returned, like you can easily filter out all the review sites like dooyoo.
- If you put the UK filter on with the co.uk page you dont get any results. Confusing but its redundant.
- Too many sponsored links top & bottom. If these could be filtered out itd be a real contender.
www.yahoo.co.uk
+ Lots of stuff on the page
+ Good set of results on 1st page
+ You can change the colour!!
- Lots of stuff on the page
- I gotta check the UK button everytime
- Gotta press enter twice?
- Slow
http://www.live.com/?searchonly=true (windows live)
+ Its the most googlish
+ It seems to lean towards uk sites, knowing thats where I am
+ The image search is awesome, really cool
+ Local finds stuff near me if I sign in and theres a map and stuff too
- Can only click "uk only" after searching for a term
- News is a bit meh..
Pants off to Microsoft, theyve done a good job :thumbup:
I have mine as yahoo but only because it has one of my mail sites on it, the other one being hotmail which is in my bookmarks toolbar folder
