What does feedee mean?
The term 'feedee' is loosely defined on the internet as 'someone who loves to eat, loves to be fed, and loves to deliberately gain weight'. feedeeBETA also on the same lines 'loves user feedback, loves to recieve it from users and loves to increase the number of feedbacks it has'. This is why its simply called feedeeBETA (There are no OTHER reasons for its name).

 

How do I use it?
You query the search engine which inturn gives search results. With the results one also sees the feedee calories of results w.r.t every keyword (this feature depends on whether the feedbacks for that particular result have been evaluated). You can select the result you want to view by clicking on the result and it will open in the browser window with feedee toolbar at the top. Now, you can go through the result and also feed feedee with your feedback (believe me feedee loves to be fed by someone). You can also use the toolbar to go back(Back) to the search results OR close(X) the feedee toolbar.

Do try the following queries: (some of the results are manipulated...so now u knw why I decided to make a search engine)

 

How can I search feedee through Mozilla Firefox Seach Box?
On the navigation bar at the bottom of each page you can see a icon of Mozilla Search Box Plugin. Clicking on it will install the feedee search in Mozilla Firefox (our favorite) browser automatically. Alternatively, you can even click on this icon > Install the 'feedee.dbit.in' search plugin. to install the search plugin.

 

I fed feedee with feedback but why does it not respond?
feedee loves to be fed and so none of your valuable feedback would be wasted. All the feedback are collected by feedee and treasured. After a few days or may be hours (depending on the traffic or ME) feedee would evaluate the feedbacks and account for the changes. After all it takes time to gain weight.

 

Why does feedee sometimes not show results even if the query is a simeple one?
feedee uses the Google Search API to come-up with results for you. Sometimes the response from their servers is slow and thus it results in a timeout. You can simply refresh the page to try again.

We are working on it presently and if you have been following the developments then you would notice a considerrable improvement in the response and thus the reduction in the number of times you would get this error.

 

What is feedee based on?
feedeeBETA is based on the UFeedRevs (User Feeds Relevant Results) Algorithm. A short introductory Powerpoint Presentation(ppt) can be found here. You can read more on it here
