Please go to http://www.findforward.com and tell me which search type
you find is the best (as in: wow that's cool, I'll tell my friend),
which type you find the most useful (as in: I have to come back here
again when researching something), and which you find the worst.
Thanks!

Dear j_philipp,

The best search type, in my opinion, is the "Thing Info". The results
were sometimes questionable regarding their information values - but
then, they proved to be highly entertaining, with unexpected elements.
Not really useful when searching for exact definitions, but very
amusing.

The most useful search type is, at least for me, the basic "Normal
Search". It produced useful results where special searches failed; and
that is what I expect in the first place when doing research.

Concerning the worst search type, I am torn between "Person Info",
"Zip Town Country" and "Image". None of those produced any results at
all when I used them with various simple search terms. For example,
former German chancellor Helmut Kohl remains a nobody without a
portrait, and my home town (230,000 inhabitants) seems to be
inexistent.

Best regards,
Scriptor

Scriptor, thanks. Will check into the bug with Person info... it must
be a bug! And as for the town, I also don't understand this. Maybe the
Umlaut... but it also didn't work with "ue"...

Jhabley, yes, as you can see on the bottom of every result page, and
on the "About" page, I'm using Google Web Services (amongst other
things, like Amazon Web Services, and Thumbshots.org).
