About two weeks ago, a startup based in Alexandria, Minnesota by the name of Striquent<\/a> quietly launched a new website that combines results from major search engines. “The idea for qrobe.it<\/a> was born out of a discussion on if the search experience can be improved upon or as the saying goes ‘one can’t improve what is already perfect,’” Nisha Boban, QA Analyst at Striquent, told Ars. “So what we did is focus on the user experience and meshed together the best of the Web, search results from Google, Bing and Ask, with ability to instantly share a URL with the leading social sites, save it, shorten it, verify it, etc.” <\/p>\n Boban believes Google came very close to perfecting the search experience many years ago, but since then the Web has moved on and the search giant has not changed its service much. Microsoft, on the other hand, rebranded its search engine by launching Bing “with a host of very good features,” but could have done a better job with branding (making the homepage pretty doesn’t cut it), she says. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
