Airtel OnSpeed Search is a Total Failure - A Review
By Angsuman Chakraborty, Gaea News NetworkFriday, January 2, 2009
Airtel is one of the biggest telecom service providers in India which includes a fair share of broadband and other internet plans too. They always try to push up their ever-so-reliable search engine to your mobiles or for internet. When I tried to use one, I was astonished to see the results. Because there were NONE. Absolutely none excepting some nonsense categories below and misplaced ads. With repeated searches upon various topics, Onspeedsearch from airtel couldn’t bring me any luck or news. Here are some of the screen-shots.
Search Topic: India
Search Topic: Airtel
Search Topic: Life
When I tried to go by the code, it was more of an embarrassment than of a revelation. The code had absolutely nothing where 3/4th of the pages were consumed by the div tags of various advertisement topics like e-bay and etc. The algorithm for search or anything related to it was nowhere to be found and no wonder it didn’t work.
