Quintura recognized as alternative search engine of the year

The AltSearchEngines blog has named the winners of its own ranking of the best alternative search engines , which he has been compiling over the past year. The first place went to the Quintura visual search engine , the brainchild of the eponymous company, whose development center is located in Sergiev Posad, and its head office is in Alexandria, Virginia. Congratulations to the team! :)

The second and third places were taken, respectively, by the question-and-answer service Answers.com and the classic French Exalead search engine .

The choice of the editorial board was approved by many authoritative search engine resources, albeit with reservations that Answers.com got second only because of its not-so-traditional search ideology.
