This small and quirky idea of a search engine runs entire­ly on dona­tions and has the goal of help­ing Cre­ative and Small busi­ness types via a man­u­al entry Fea­ture List­ing search engine with­out Arti­fi­cial Intelligence(AI), algo­rithm, and does NOT require peo­ple to login in order to sub­mit or update sim­ple infor­ma­tion from their source web­sites. All entries are NOT auto­mat­ed by a robot web crawler. They are actu­al­ly added and man­u­al­ly updat­ed by me per­son­al­ly, a human web crawler. I WILL vis­it your web­site in order to add it to my lit­tle search engine.

I think that some­thing like this is impor­tant to keep around in prepa­ra­tion for a not so dis­tant future as a non inva­sive archive link­ing back to your cur­rent web­site which also acts as a kind of snap­shot to show what the front page of your web­site looks like at any par­tic­u­lar time etc and it’s a way to pro­mote your web­site with­out the mas­sive scrap­ing of META data and per­son­al infor­ma­tion done by any of the nor­mal web crawler robot search engines. The focus for Starter(TheXFactory.com/starter), Basic(TheXFactory.com/basic), and Full(TheXFactory.com/full) Fea­ture List­ings is just a man­u­al­ly copied text descrip­tion, your source link, a pro­file type image from the site(if avail­able), and a gen­er­at­ed snap­shot of the site’s land­ing page.

I’m also work­ing on adding more Fea­ture List­ing snap­shots, longer text descrip­tions with links, and a few more inter­est­ing options for folks who are inter­est­ed in donat­ing a lit­tle more and who direct­ly ask me to upgrade a Fea­ture List­ing. This may be real­ly cool to have if your site is going to go down for some rea­son, if you can no longer afford your web­site and want infor­ma­tion from your Cre­ative or Small Busi­ness social media pages to not be so walled off. Below is an exam­ple of a web­page con­tained with­in a web­site. The web­site went down. How­ev­er, the sub­mit­ted page is still pre­served at TheXFactory.com.
