FyberSearch celebrates one full year of giving users the control over their search results by looking back at the major developments that took place in the last twelve months.

November 2003: Nathan Enns decided to learn how to program PHP. For his first project he decided to write a simple search engine. He enjoyed building it enough to continue adding features until it became a reasonably useful and unique tool for finding information on the Internet.

December 2003: Nathan Enns decides to buy his new search engine a domain name. From then on the search engine was called FyberSearch and located at http://www.fybersearch.com

January through March 2004: Nathan Enns spends his spare time improving FyberSearch. He adds some unique features, including one he called “keyword density”. The keyword density search setting allowed users to only view web pages that had their search query repeated a specific number of times.

April 2004: Gary Price at Resource Shelf wrote the first known piece of news covering FyberSearch. “I was very excited and honored that I had developed a search engine that someone like Gary Price would consider mentioning.” Says Nathan Enns, Owner and Founder of FyberSearch. The article can be found at http://www.resourceshelf.com/archives/2004_04_01_resourceshelf_archive.html#108261166091543674

July 2004: Nathan does his first interview with Sid Yadav owner of The Daily Rundown viewable at http://www.dailyrundown.com/interview/nathan-enns.html.

August 2004: The national news network CNBC sends Cory Johnson up to Burien Washington to spend a few hours discussing search engines and FyberSearch with Nathan Enns. As a result FyberSearch was included in one of CNBC’s stories regarding the Google IPO in which FyberSearch was cited as “the latest threat to Google”. “I was shocked that CNBC would even consider covering my 6th month old search engine. It was an experience I will never forget.” Says Nathan. A text version of the CNBC story can be found by visiting http://moneycentral.msn.com/content/CNBCTV/Articles/TVReports/P91256.asp

October 2004: FyberSearch launches the FyberSearch News Blog at http://www.fybersearch.com/blog as another way to keep track of the developments being made.

November 1st, 2004: FyberSearch acquires the search engine FeedPlex founded by Sid Yadav. FeedPlex is a search engine for XML, RSS, ATOM and RDF file formats.

November 15th, 2004: FyberSearch Announces the Release of a Sentence Search Engine Called "FyberSearch Web Thoughts". FyberSearch Web Thoughts is not like a typical search engine where users enter a search query and view a list of links to (hopefully) the most relevant web pages. Instead, FyberSearch Web Thoughts takes a search query and displays the most relevant sentences followed by the source web page. Its primary purpose is not to find the most relevant web pages but to find the most relevant statements.

”It has been a great year for me and a good start for FyberSearch thanks to all of the support and encouragement received from so many people.” Says Nathan. “I look forward to many more years filled with search related developments of all kinds. It promises to be an exciting time for the search industry and I am happy that so many people have welcomed in the presence of FyberSearch.”
