At Intelliverb we are spending a lot of time on vertical search, karatr.com is our latest piece of work. Any feedback is welcome.

“We designed Karatr to be the place to easily find the finest jewelry and watches.”

I typed in “Rolex” and was confronted with a list of Rolex-style watches. That’s not the finest choice that I was expecting.

“Karatr is a search engine where you don’t just look for a wedding ring; you look for a ring that fit your character as a person by providing details matching your needs. Karatr don’t just help you find a good brand watch, you’re actually given options to narrow your search to the perfect watch for both your price and style.”

Price yes, but I saw nothing about “style” or “character” on my Rolex search.

Hey Okeumeni,

How many 'vertical' search sites is intelliverb going to be launching? Maybe it would be better to provide HN with a list of all the sites, rather than an individual post showing off another one of your sites every day. Particularly as the sites are all the same with the exception of the logo and each serving a different vertical market.

"rather than an individual post"

elsewhere it would be called spam

here I'd give it a week between posts

I have to admit that there’s room for confusion here, though the sites ‘look’ alike the process to each vertical is different. We don’t mean to span HN, absolutely not. We are just hoping to get some constructive feedback on relevancy and performance. I personally apologize for any ‘spamed’ feeling we may have unintentionally created.

And for Gods sake. Stop that 2.0-naming-bullshit. I -can- spell.
