Quite interesting, though as even Microsoft with Bing know it is hard to move
people from the de facto search engine of the day (in this case Google). At
some stage Blekko will have to monetise their resource go justify continued
investment and at some stage that means ads. Indeed Google is not so much a
search company but an advertising company really for whom search is a user
resource that helps generate revenue for Google. It is one hell of a squeeze
between Google who have (at least in the UK) about 90 percent of the market and
Microsoft Bing. Still if Blekko can get one or two percent there still could
be some good business in it.

Hi
I tried the prefix UK: before the search term and got mainly U.K. results.
You have to remember this engine is trying to cut out spam and purely
commercial results.
It's horses for courses I guess ( No I don't mean you are an old nag at all )
so if you are looking to be swamped with offers then google is your friend.
