enterprise search engine

Hello, thought I should mention another enterprise search product: Coveo. In fact, it is the company name which produces at least 2 enterprise search products and have received many awards.

Sorry, but the Coveo article dos not cohere to the principle of only listing search engine articles, not company as laid down in the Company links vs. engine links discussion (I am still against this principle, but that is another discussion). Runarb (talk) 22:00, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Gigablast

gigablast.com is missing, it is a search engine active since a long time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.182.156.228 (talk) 03:39, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately there is no Wikipedia article about Gigablast so we can't add it to this list. It used to be an article about them, but it has been deleted. That's a pity because Gigablast has been around for a long time an should probably have an article about it. I will lock into asking for undeleting. Runarb (talk) 21:49, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

yes, it is fully functional and one of few working independent SEs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.182.92.242 (talk) 02:16, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have gotten hold of a copy of the original artical. This version is not to bad: 224949004. I will try to salvage some text from the first version and write the rest. There is clerly are some reliable sources around, like: Google Books search for 'gigablast', List of Gigablast in the News [1] and [2].

why was it deleted? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.182.92.242 (talk) 04:19, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Lack of references. Assumed to be non-notable. The articles for deletion discussion is here Articles for deletion/Gigablast Runarb (talk) 17:52, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Macrakis/Gigablast I think this is a sufficient article, there are many reviews and articles on gigablast, on the internet. I mean the important thing is for gigablast to be in the list of search engines, not being qualified for not having an article is a dumb rule in my opinion, it is an search engine, people havent been interested enough to make a proper article about it, this doesnt change the fact that it is and has been a proper search engine for many years. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.182.133.169 (talk) 07:47, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Elasticsearch and Solr

Elasticsearch and Solr are two open source search engines that should be added to this list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ceciliemyhre (talk • contribs) 07:13, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

By popularity

Could someone make a "By popularity" category for this list of search engines?

It would really help users to make up their mind about what search engine to use especially in terms of the private ones. Like how could I tell which private one has most searches? Is it Startpage.com or duckduckgo.com?

Thanks.
