The idea behind "Jeeves" was not to create yet another search engine or directory, but to offer a question-answering service - a virtual online concierge. Accordingly, the service was named after P.G. Wodehouse's butler character "Jeeves".

The word "Cloak" comes from Star Trek where the Klingons were capable of "cloaking" their ships invisible. There are three main types of cloaking: IP based, User Agent based, and the combination of those two. ...
Die wörtliche Übersetzung des englischen "to cloak" ist "verhüllen", "verdecken". Und genau das passiert auch. Spezielle Software auf dem Server des Seitenanbieters sorgt dafür, dass Suchmaschinen Robots ganz andere Seiten präsentiert bekommen als der normale Surfer. Das funktioniert, indem die Software anhand der IP Adresse oder des User Agents erkennt, wer die Seite anfordert.
"cloaking" kommt eher von "cloak" = "Mantel", "Umhang" - also "verstecken in einem Mantel", "Verkleiden" (im Sinne von "cloak and dagger" = "Mantel und Degen (Filme/Romane)"), verwandt mit "Glocke". Hat nichts mit "Kloake" zu tun.
From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48:
Cloak \Cloak\ (kl[=o]k; 110), n. [Of. cloque cloak (from the bell-like shape), bell, F. cloche bell; perh. of Celtic origin and the same word as E. clock. See 1st Clock.]
1. A loose outer garment, extending from the neck downwards, and commonly without sleeves. It is longer than a cape, and is worn both by men and by women. [1913 Webster]
2. That which conceals; a disguise or pretext; an excuse; a fair pretense; a mask; a cover. [1913 Webster]
No man is esteemed any ways considerable for policy who wears religion otherwise than as a cloak. - South. [1913 Webster]
Clusty got its start in Pittsburgh, PA in 2004 when the search software company Vivísimo decided to take its award-winning search technology to the web.
Vivísimo was founded in 2000 by three Carnegie Mellon University scientists who decided to tackle the problem of information overload in web search. Rather than focusing just on search engine result ranking, we realized that grouping results into topics, or "clustering," made for better search and discovery. As search became a necessity for web users, Vivísimo developed a service robust enough to handle the variety of information the everyday web user was after. The result was Clusty: an innovative way to get more out of every search.

"Cuil" is an old Irish word for "knowledge". For knowledge, ask Cuil.
Cuil - Neue Suchmaschine protzt mit Rekord-Index
28.07.2008 um 13:10 Uhr
Autor(en): Thomas Cloer.
Frühere Mitarbeiter von Google und anderen Hightech-Größen haben Cuil gestartet. Die neue Suchmaschine indexiert angeblich drei Mal so viele Web-Seiten wie Google.
Cuil Inc. hat seine gleichnamige Search Engine heute live geschaltet (sie ist prompt unter der Last der Anfragen in die Knie gegangen) und verspricht bessere Suchergebnisse als die Konkurrenz, indem Cuil mehr Web-Seiten durchsucht und sie genauer studiert. Die Ergebnisseite der neuen Suchmaschine gleicht dabei einem Online-Magazin - ein anderes Look and Feed als beim Such-Brummi Google.

Ursprünglich hiess die Suchmaschine noch "BackRub". Vermutlich trug die Namensänderung auch einen Teil zur Popularität von Google bei. - Oder können Sie sich einen "Rückenschrubber" als Suchmaschine vorstellen. Dann müsste man heute statt des Verbes "googlen" "to backrub" = "rückenschrubben" sagen.
In dem Artikel "The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine" schreiben "Sergey Brin" und "Lawrence Page":
We chose our system name, Google, because it is a common spelling of googol, or 10**100 and fits well with our goal of building very large-scale search engines.

The winner is: etymology
A look at how Google's monopoly, algorithms, and privacy policies are undermining the Web.
GoTo had even earlier origins. Its initial search engine was the World Wide Web Worm, one of the very first web search engines created by University of Colorado professor Oliver McBryan. McBryan sold the technology to Idealab, then parent of GoTo.com in December 1999.

Étymol. et Hist. 1823 "lycose" (Boiste Hist. nat.). Empr. au lat. sc. "lycosa" (Linné d'apr. Neave t. II, 1015), formé sur le lat. d'époque impériale "lycos" = "araignée-loup" (= dt "Wolfsspinne"), du griech. "lykos" = "loup, araignée-loup".
...
Der Name selbst leitet sich in Anlehnung an "das Netz" ab von der lateinischen Bezeichnung "Lycosidae" für "Wolfsspinne": "Lycos".
...
"Lycostaphylus", eine alte Benennung der gefüllten Varietät des gemeinen Schneeballs, "Viburnum Opulus Linn."
"Lycostomus", ein alter Nahme der Sardelle, "Clupea Encrasicolus Linn."
"Lycosia": Wenn man sich den Namen "Lycosia" so anschaut, könnte man leicht zum Schluss kommen, dass es sich hier um ein paar Freaks handelt, die sich der Mythologie der Lycanthrophie (Verwandlung in einen Werwolf) verschrieben haben.

How Mahalo Works
...
Hawaiian for "Search Engine?"
Mahalo is a Hawaiian word that means "thank you." The company's motto is "We're here to help," and the site has a Hawaiian print motif. Even Mahalo's symbol for excellent links is a Hawaiian reference -- it's an icon representing the shaka sign, a hand with the thumb and pinky finger extended, often used in Hawaii for greetings or hanging ten.

Why?
I get asked lots of questions about what does this mean. I also get lots of comments requesting an SEO glossary. So I decided to create this page.

Soople - easy expert search
"Soople" is an early English dialect, which means "to soften", "make supple".
That's exactly what I envisioned for this site; a site that softens all the fantastic advanced functions Google offers. This site is meant for all those who are not yet familiar with all the possibilities of Google and all the required syntaxes.
For instance, one can specify a search by one particuliar site or filetype (word, excel, powerpoint and pdf) or an imagesearch by size and type.
Furthermore there are many useful tools Google offers; search in the latest news, look up definitions or use Google as a phonebook.
And last but not least, the Calculator. This amazing tool let's you do all kind of (very advanced) calculations. Soople has added the unit-converter, which is based on this calculator, for the conversion of all the commmon units/measures (meters<--->yards). Quite supple, if you ask me.
Have a lot of Google-fun
Soople is in no way affiliated with or endorsed by Google

Wolfram Alpha vs. Google
Der Kampf ist eröffnet: Als vergangene Woche der britische Physiker Stephen Wolfram erstmals der Öffentlichkeit die neue „Antwortmaschine“ Wolfram Alpha vorstellte, kündigte Google einen eigenen neuen Dienst an. Wolfram Alpha greift auf Datenbanken zurück, die von Wolfram Research betrieben werden, und wendet auf ihre Inhalte Algorithmen an, um Antworten auf Fragen zu generieren, die Nutzer stellen.
Mit dem vom Wolfram-Team vorab zur Verfügung gestellten Login machte ich die Probe aufs Exempel: Wolfram Alpha vs. Google (in der Standardform). Ich gab jeweils die gleichen Anfragen ein und variierte sie in einigen Fällen, um zu sehen, was passiert.

Pray bring to your mind how often I desired you to consider, when you insisted on the motive of public good, that the "Yahoos" were a species of animals utterly incapable of amendment by precept or example: and so it has proved; for, instead of seeing a full stop put to all abuses and corruptions, at least in this little island, as I had reason to expect; behold, after above six months warning, I cannot learn that my book has produced one single effect according to my intentions.

So evocative was Swift's depiction of the Yahoos' depravity that "yahoo" almost immediately entered English as a synonym for an ignorant brute. Over the years, "yahoo" has also often been invoked in the cultural realm, where those who lack an appreciation for the finer points of modern art, for instance, have been accused of being "yahoos."
...
A 1726 citation is from Swift's Gulliver's Travels. However, the Houyhnhnms are the race of horses. The Yahoos are the race of brutish men that serve them.
"The name Yahoo! is supposed to stand for "Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle," but Filo and Yang insist they selected the name because they considered themselves yahoos"
According to the OED, Yahoo! is an exclamation originating with cowboys, especially when "executing daring feats on horseback". Their first citation, however, is from 1976.

Yahoo!
Das Wort stammt aus dem Buch Gullivers Reisen von Jonathan Swift und beschreibt ein nur dem Aussehen nach menschenähnliches Wesen mit tierischem Verhalten. Die Unternehmensgründer David Filo und Jerry Yang bezeichneten sich scherzhaft als Yahoos. Später wurde das Wort als Backronym umgedeutet zu "Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle".
Yahoo! - The word Yahoo was invented by Jonathan Swift and used in his book Gulliver's Travels. It represents a person who is repulsive in appearance and barely human. Yahoo! founders David Filo and Jerry Yang jokingly considered themselves yahoos. It's also an interjection sometimes associated with United States Southerners' and Westerners' expression of joy, as alluded to in Yahoo.com commercials that end with someone singing the word "yahoo". It is also sometime jokingly referred to by its backronym, Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle.[51]
...
Yahoo! started out as "Jerry's Guide to the World Wide Web" but eventually received a new moniker with the help of a dictionary. "Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle" is a backronym for "yahoo!", but Filo and Yang insist they selected the name because they liked the word's general definition, as in Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift: "rude, unsophisticated, uncouth."[1] (For this reason the word "Yahoo!" should be pronounced with the emphasis on the first syllable.) Yahoo! itself first resided on Yang's student workstation, "Akebono," while the software was lodged on Filo's computer, "Konishiki"—both named after legendary sumo wrestlers.
