It shook us up a little last year when NoodleQuest was voted one of PC Magazine’s “Top 100 Sites” for Spring 2005, alongside other search tools like A9 and Clusty. While Debbie’s popular Choose the Best Search for Your Information Need page is kept up to date, NoodleQuest hadn’t gotten a significant update since 2000 (back when HotBot was one of the best things out there).

We’ve completely reworked the tool — including implementing a backend administration tool for it that allows us to keep it updated much more easily. We’re still tweaking it a bit, and we do invite your input if you have any suggestions. Regarding the quality of the advice that NoodleQuest provides — we do also plan on adding a feedback link on the results screen, to allow the user to comment on the relevancy of the results for a particular topic.

Anyway, try it out, and let us know what you think!
