Gigablast’s “beats Google” in recent search engine comparison study (by Gigablast)by Andrew Redfern @ 27th February 2008 6:36 pm Gigablast, the new search engine on the block, is puffing out its chest and challenge all before them as today announced the results of a recent search engine comparison study. In the study (produced by Gigablast **cough) of just over 200 participants, over 55%, found the Gigablast search results to be as good as, or better than, search results from Google. The study, which compared Gigablast’s and Google’s search results side-by-side, without brand names or logos. Forty- eight sample search queries were used, with the queries comprising an unbiased selection of the top queries of 2007, as reported by Google’s own Google Zeitgeist service. Now while this is a positive result in favour of Gigablast, 55% is hardly wiping the floor with the search engine giant. The survey continues…. Compared with Ask.com’s search results in a separate study, Gigablast performed even better. In that study (using the same sample search queries from Google’s Google Zeitgeist service), 44% of users preferred Gigablast to Ask.com (versus only 34% of users who preferred Ask to Gigablast). Including tie votes, 66% of users voted Gigablast better than, or as good as, Ask.com. Comparison studies with Microsoft Live Search and Yahoo are now in progress. “Our users have always been passionate about Gigablast search, but the outcome of these studies represents great validation of the quality, relevance, and freshness of the Gigablast search results,” said Matt Wells, CEO and Founder of Gigablast. “When combined with our intuitive user interface, our industry-leading privacy policy, and our flexible business services, the results of these studies demonstrate that Gigablast is an exceptional search alternative.” Gigablast is a great search engine and has some cool features and we as one have talked about many times; however to try to beat Google the quality of its search results at this time; is probably too early. However watch out for Gigablast in the coming months; I am sure they will be wanting to pick fights with other search engines; and for our industry that is only good news!
