I’ve recently come across MyLiveSearch. It’s a search engine that claims to be “the only engine that searches the web live”. Search results are apparently crawled retrieved on the fly, as the user’s query is processed.

According to coverage at IDM, this is achieved through a browser plug in. A user’s search query is first run through a traditional search engine (their own, or an existing engine?), then as results are returned, MyLiveSearch performs deeper scanning on the fly, following embedded links to many more sites and turning up much more detailed and up-to-the-minute results.

What’s especially interesting is that the development team is based in Melbourne, and according to their website, have been working on this technology for the past 8 years. Does anyone know these guys?
