Omgili, one of the 10 Search Engine of the Month finalists, today unveiled their newest feature: Omgili Product Reviews – just in time for the holiday shopping season.


Omgili is the alternative vertical search engine that you would use to find out what people are saying about any topic, and now that includes conversations about products; i.e. real product reviews.

Omgili is your way to find “subjective information”. As opposed to traditional search engines, which search for sites and pages, Omgili finds consumer opinions, debates, discussions, personal experiences, answers and solutions. Omgili is a specialized search engine that focuses on “many to many” user generated content platforms, such as, Forums, Discussion groups, Mailing lists, answer boards and others.  That’s what makes them different from most other search engines.

Omgili is a crawler based search engine that scans millions of online discussions worldwide in over 100,000 boards, forums and other discussion based resources. Omgili knows how to analyze and differentiate between discussion entities such as topic, title, replies and discussion date.

Now you can search Omgili Product Reviews to find the overall users’ sentiment about the products you are looking for. From electronics and computers to books and apparel. Omgili Product Reviews covers thousands of user reviews from various review sites and returns the overall ratings for these products. 

Some examples are: iPod, SanDisk Cruzer, Zune, Nintendo, Xbox, Logitech Mouse, Router, Digital Camera, LCD monitor, Car Seats.  I decided to search for the new Amazon Kindle.

What are these colors?

The colorful graph you see near every result is the overall ratings of the product from multiple reviews sites (like Shopping.com, CNET, Yahoo etc). Each color represents the rating from 1 to 5 and its width represents the number of users that gave it that grade.  A very nice grapic touch!

By clicking on the product link you will receive all the reviews and their grades, the overall buzz plus the discussions where people are talking about the product and sharing their thoughts. 

By clicking on a colored pointer, you can view only the reviews that match the rating it represents. 
Here we have two people who were not too happy with the book or the Kindle:
