Hacker News Reader

Wikipedia, Yahoo Answers, Google Answers (lawl), Quora, Stackoverflow.

Try putting in a coding question and Stackoverflow will show: http://foobub.com/?s=python+xrange+vs+range

If you put in a random question, yahoo answers will probably appear: http://foobub.com/?s=why+does+sweat+smell+so+bad

Wikipedia just generally comes up first as the way it's weighted. It answers and provides knowledge for most queries.

I searched for "ruby on rails" and it got me wiki and quora, but not stackoverflow, which I would expect. See: http://foobub.com/?s=ruby+on+rails

Also, searching for "stackoverflow" gives unexpected results: http://foobub.com/?s=stackoverflow

Otherwise, surprisingly useful for something so simple. If you could tone down/up result sources and it had more (e.g. show me nothing from yahoo answers, more from stackoverflow), i would concievably use this instead of the goog for most things.

Like many people most of my googles are "wiki blah"

Good job!
