Upstart search engine BigClique.com continues to show its mettle against the big search players with the announcement today of the BigClique.com Toolbar.  While toolbars have become commonplace and nearly all major search engines offer them, BigClique's toolbar breaks new ground with the inclusion of several features that no other toolbar offers.

The usual features are included, like a search box for BigClique's search engine, and a pop-up blocker. Where the BigClique.com toolbar leaves the others behind is with the additional features, which include

- Spots and removes spyware and cookies
- Read FREE daily articles on all subjects 
- Read the day's top news stories 
- Local and World weather forecasts
- Find movies at your local cinema with one click 
- Highlight any word on a page, right click and search for it

Commenting on the Toolbar launch, founder Femi Olu said "I experimented with all the toolbars offered by other sites, I always felt there was something missing.  Weather forecasts was an obvious addition, as was top news stories.  What really got us excited was partnering with services like ArticleCity.com to provide articles, and IMDb to provide movie listings by zip code."

Although the search engine industry is extremely competitive, Mr. Olu has confidence BigClique.com can carve out a niche.  To compete with established players like Google, Yahoo, and MSN, BigClique debuted in May, 2005 with a crawled index of a several million web sites, and a proprietary ranking algorithm that analyzes on-site and off-site criteria including page text, tags, inbound links, and other factors. BigClique.com also utilizes a "Segments" technology which offers endless scalability, running on a cluster of Dual AMD Opteron servers.
