New PDA Search Site

[Andy Sjostrom]

<a href="http://www.pda-search.net/">http://www.pda-search.net/</a><br /><br />PDA-Search is a new search site dedicated to mobile devices. According to the press release, they have already spidered 45,000 pages covering Pocket PC, Palm, and Symbian web sites. There are currently five language versions: English, French, German, Italian and Spanish!<br /><br />I did a quick search for "backup". Yes, I am <a href="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=11928">paranoid about backups</a>. The search engine came back with 3730 pages. May I recommend the <a href="http://www.pocketpclife.co.uk/featureddetails.asp?article=99">second page</a> on the results list! PDA-Search is also available in a <a href="http://www.pda-search.net/pda_search.php">PDA friendly version</a>. Well done!

Bad thing about this site, though:

They don't filter out duplicates in the query. For example, I searched on "Freeware". Out of the many many responses I got, in the first 40 there were 39 duplicates for pocketpcsoft.net. Only one site listed was unique. In the next 50 I looked at, there were only two unique sites listed beyond pocketpcsoft.net. This search site needs to do a better job of filtering out duplicates.
