Is You.com the next type of search engine?


I discovered You.com a couple of weeks ago and gave it a try but I'm still unsure of it. The biggest disadvantage is the horizontal scroll but this is just UI/UX. More important are the search results itself.

I wonder if they just use Bing in the background like DuckDuckGo or if they developed their own search engine. Anybody knows more details?

What do you think of You.com?

My current DDG search strategy has evolved to a point where I simply tag the website I think will have the best answer — ie. "My question stack overflow", "my question hacker news", etc.

Landing page needs JS to view the contents, which is a big turn off. If it worked without JS I would attempt to leverage it however.

It looks like the spit as much information on the screen as possible to make up for lack of accuracy.

"Please reload the page, something went wrong."

I'd say, no.
