ok..let me ask you this? why can't i use google search vs. yours. I mean no one will think about suzbin when it comes to "search". the average user would probably go to google...

That's where SEO comes in. Take for example the lyrics engines - they don't rely on their own search boxes, they rely on high rankings in Google searches. Subzim can do the same thing.

that is not to say that you can't make it work, but it's hard...just put your shoes in the consumer...they probably go to google if they need to search for quotes...same way if you were looking for lyrics you'd go to google..and most of the time it works pretty well.

It looks like an enthusiast or power user tool more than anything else, where the timing of the quote might be extremely useful. If I was a film student I'd bookmark it.

Looks like you're already showing up above the IMDB in Google for "movie quote search"
