  be a vast source of information and accessing the
  finest information is the first step for any
  information-seeker towards getting
  well-acquainted with facts and figures. To

  search experience, one of the newest search
  engines blekko is fully equipped with
  characterizing features and tools that are aimed
  to give the user only high quality, spam-free and
  relevant information.

  the slash tag that allows you to narrow down the
  range of your search results and cut right to the

  users slash tags or add sites to existing slash
  tags .The search engine also has some special
  slash tags that dont act as site filters e.g.,
  /date shows recent results and /SEO offers
  indexing information about websites.

its search results

  clearly in the search result pages being

  cached version, the IP address and SEO data.

  relevance ranking algorithm, it does expose some
  of the information used for computing the
  algorithm.

  similar i.e. both the search engines want to
  deliver only the most relevant pages for any
  search query.

  to crawl and index the vast spaces of the web,
  Blekko relies on the user community to find
  useful sites and add them to the relevant slash
  tags.

the search results

  from the search results is offered by the search
  engine that comes in the form of a button titled

  results from the website that contains irrelevant
  and unimportant links.

user base

  safe-search to its user base that is set to
  moderate by default which means that results
  containing irrelevant information will be visible
  only if a majority of search results are
  irrelevant.

  result, he/she can click on prefs in the upper
  right of the search engine window and set
  safe-search to disabled.

• The search engine displays multiple categories
  for a given search term that expand and collapse
  to show more or less search results which can
  then be scrolled through horizontally.

  search results by clicking the vertical category
  title and he/she can jump to a different category
  by clicking from the menu on the left bar.

  list of topics to find the appropriate slash tag
  according to your search requirement.
