Hi,

I want you to go to www.wuensche.ca and tell me what you think. I am trying to find a logo for it still, I'm hoping Veggie will be able to make me one but I am also working on adding things.

Note: I am trying to make it look like google, the layout, etc. but it's not using any of Googles scripts and it's my own database of websites so you can add your own websites. I will eventually have a spider so it'll index pages for me :)
:spider:

I have added a bunch of stuff since I posted this. I hope to be adding a custom made forum(coed by me) soon. But until then enjoy making babies with the search engine and getting results!

logo looks good, but should there be lines running thru the gradiant area? i thought it would be smoothe. also, just something to think about, how do you expect someone to remember the name when they cant even pronounce it. i know you showed me yesterday, but i had already forgotten the name.

when you do a search, make the site name appear above the description, and make the site name the link, not the description. if you are going to use green to display the http, then make the green match the green in the logo. get rid of the "Page Loaded in....." thing. make the menu stand out more, and maybe use images. also, get some ads in there, and maybe news links or something. if you are going to compete with the big boys, then you need to make a site like the big boys, and then expand on it and make it better. good luck, but right now, 5/10

"I'm feeling lucky" is a trademark of google.

I know it's a hard name to remember, lol... but I might buy a domain name for it ;)

:lol:, that would still probably violate trademarks.

Just put '1st Result' or something.

Just have to make the links more consistent with one another, like some of them begin with uppercase and other are lower case. But other than that it's good. Oh yes not sure about "Feeling lucky?" button it might violate the google trademark. I can't think of it calling it anything else but maybe "Lucky Draw" or something along that.

the search results need something separating them, it all looks jumbled together. Colors are pretty loud. I do like the logo, but the feeling lucky button is of course a rip of google. Don't try and reinvent the wheel, create something completely unique, there are enough google clones
