This must be the world’s stupidest and annonying search engine ever coded by human beings. So much time and effort went into it and I can only say – it sucks. The app also had my Firefox crawling on its knees, lagging it to snail pace. The search results are irrelevant to what I am looking for, on top of that, she is super annonying and she thinks she is funny.
I don’t think it’s clever enough to be funny… and it’s not really clever enough to be clever. And “Ms. Dewey” annoys the hell out of me! It’s a shame really, because I thought it actually looked quite good before I tried using it.. – Tony Ruscoe

October 17th, 2006In my opinon Ms. Dewey is a spark and not a flame and was created that way. A concept car for your browser, Ms. Dewey is alluring but not street ready. She was meant to intrigue and as a cross between an episodic video game/blog (the material will have to be updated at some point due to its presentation style) and Alta Vista, I think she succeeds. Ironically, Ms. Dewey brought me to your site. She can’t be all that bad, right? What interest me more is not her cooking (ability to search), but her place in web and pop culture.

October 25th, 2006Well, it’s barely passable as a search engine, but really, does anyone want to have a very rude search engine? If you don’t type fast enough or if you leave it alone it starts to imitate banging on your screen asking if you are there.
I can get better service from a real librarian – heck even from Google you can get better service and no tacky comments

January 23rd, 2007I thought this was thoroughly amusing! Even though I would NOT use it as a search engine, this does begin pushing boundaries or expectation a bit as Adam said earlier.
It will be just a matter of time (and effort) that someone will work this same concept into something more useful. (me and my team perhaps!)
Keep you eyes open for the Bay Area.
