What would be a good name for a new search engine?

Googlefilter: What is the name of this search engine game?

  • What is the name of this search engine game? I once heard of a game where two players search the internet for phrases, and the first one to score one and only one web site containing a search term wins. I think the name of the game was one of these phrases - like "octopi ninjitsu" or something similar but my google-fu is failing me. Do you remember what this games is called and where it originated? Also, do you know of any similar search based games?

  • Answer:

    Not quite a search-based game, but I remember people playing "Web That Smut", where a site would be chosen, say "cnn.com", and people would bid how many clicks (no inputting text) it would take to get to a website with porn on it. "I can web that smut in 15 clicks" "12" "Web that smut!"

Smut sounds fun. We've lately been playing the f*cking game. Can I say f*cking on Ask? Anyway here's how to play. Go to Google image search, turn off Safe Search. Pick any word, and add "f*cking". See how many pages you can next through before you hit porn. "F*cking dradle" was the best we could do, I think it was 13 pages. This is a great game to play with a group, because it generates a lot of interesting discussions about "what is porn?"
