New feature: popular searches
Jun/090
Yesterday we spiced up Nibbo’s home page by showing the current most popular searches in the Web. The information is obtained from Google Trends, and is updated every hour; just click on the topic, and the search will start automatically.
We’re currently working on the manual, which we hope to make available soon. After that, we’ve some nice new features on our to-do list to develop 
New feature: Digg engine
Jun/090
We added support to search in another popular service: Digg.
Of course, it comes with settings, refinements, tooltip… So, if you like digg, this engine is a must.
The “add engine” section has been tweaked a little; now there’s a “Targeted” section, which is meant to be the place for all engines that target a specific service, like Wikipedia, Twitter, Digg…
We’re planning to include at least two more engines in the near future, but first we want to implement a help section to explain how to use Nibbo. Stay tuned!
Minor updates
Jun/090
We just updated Nibbo with the following changes:
- Clicking on the preview header will open that preview engine as the main search. To toggle it (like before), click on the arrow next to the icon, or edit that engine settings in the control panel. In the case the old mode is preferred, a new “Options” panel has been added to the control panel, which contains a setting to change this functionality and make it exactly like before.
- Now it’s possible to change the order of the elements of the search results page. Go to the “Options” section in the control panel, and check the “Results page order” setting. The tooltip will be repositioned at the left of the previews column if necessary.
Have fun!
New feature: Yahoo! Answers engine
Jun/090
We just added a new feature: a new engine, this time for Yahoo! Answers. You may add it from the “Settings” > “Layout” panel.
Yahoo! Answers is a popular service in which users post questions, and other users will post answers to them. In the end, the question creator will pick an answer.
The Nibbo engine will show the most relevant fields from that answer, like the category, publication date, chosen answer, and more. It also offers a number of settings and refinements.
New feature: related searches
Jun/090
A couple of days ago we added a new engine type: related searches. New visitors will get it automatically, but if you visited Nibbo before, and can’t see it, make sure to add it.
What does it? For a given query, it will report up to 8 alternative searches (the tooltip preview will show the first four). Just click on the alternative search, and it will be opened with the current search engine. Together with the refinements and the autocomplete search bar makes Nibbo a very powerful tool to optimize your search query.
We have more engines on our pipeline, so keep an eye on this blog!

Welcome to our blog!!
A few weeks ago we released Nibbo, a search engine that aims to offer a better search experience. We invested quite a lot of time and effort, but this is just the beginning!
In this blog we want to inform our users of new features, offer tips for our search engine, and report any relevant news. It’s also a way for users like you to give us feedback. We read all the comments, and we’re always interested on what you have to say.
