- Comment. Since this has been kept twice before, there should be some explanation of what's changed since then. A couple of additional sources from 2004: Chicago Sun Times [1]; Chicago Tribune [2]. And FWIW, in my personal experience their annoying searchbox shows up everywhere. --Arxiloxos (talk) 16:16, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
- I find no "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject", ie in-depth coverage of them rather than frequent appearances of their search box. I note the coverage in Chicago of their launch but I think we need a bit more than newspaper reprinting of launch press releases (no disrespect to Chicago papers intended!)

- Did you have an explanation of what's changed since the last two nominations? Unscintillating (talk) 04:38, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
- The second keep appears to have been based on the first which was based on the addition of two very brief descriptions of what the site does. We need "significant coverage" that goes beyond noting that something exists and a few words about what it does. Philafrenzy (talk) 11:42, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

- Keep While not great, the 2004 sources are significant coverage of what the search engine does, which is what the product here for this company is. It's not great or particularly useful coverage but this search engine itself has coverage. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 12:39, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
