Kartoo search failed to maintain this site but failed ALSO to take care of its north American customers. They have a ghost office in CA, we sent numerous emails but got no answers since we acquired their product. Localization is not professional unless you read french. Support is really bad. Technology REALLY SLOW.
We decided to go back to TEXT Search which is much faster and less messy. We definitely NOT recommnend this company and technology. We've lost a bunch of $$$ but that's OK. Fees were as cheap as the company is, anyway.
I guess another unhappy Kartoo customer. Those guys are not even smart as to leave such a blog.
Kartoo Thumbs down - Pay a visit to Kartoo corporate site kartoo.net is the funniest thing you've ever experienced. Those guys should learn to write english prior launching software. No wonder they are french!.... Anyway visual search aren't good for ecommerce.
One anonymous guy wrote that this blog is not an official Kartoo blog, why? Seems that those kartoo guys are not playing the game of transparency.
Blogs are made for free speech, right? Maybe all those negative points about this kartoo engine are true, why hiding things, it seems that even customers are unhappy of kartoo maintenance and support.
I looked at their company site and found it not too professional. I felt KIDS are running kartoo.....
Even slower than Kartoo I fully desagree for grokker being a good product. My opinion is that grokker.com and kartoo are useless and irrelevant engines.
As for me New MSN and Google remain the top searches ever.
A friend of mine send me a link to look at it. I do not like Kartoo search, you never get the results you are looking for. I tried Grokker too and my opinion is that Grokker (http://grokker.com)and Kartoo (http://kartoo.com) are the most useless things I have ever used. -Mirek from Poland-
Funny!!! ONE anonymous guy wrote that this blog is not the official Kartoo blog!
Kartoo looks like being a pretty "cheap company" located in the middle of nowhere in Europe (France). That kartoo failure search is the most stupid engine I have ever tried.
To me, I feel that Kartoo management does not like much competition and critics. Welcome to the world of free speech... guys!!!
Kartoo was down last time I tried it. Is Kartoo still exists ? I found this blog about visual searches, I remember VisualBot.com used to be Kartoo a few months ago, does anybody know about it ?
Kartoo is not a search engine, instead it uses a number of search engines to get the results. Try "kartoo sucks" and see the results. Kartoo is a mega joke!!!
I clicked the "OK" button and the error message was: "LA CASE EST VIDE". Kartoo doesn't use the best search engine: Google, so why would I want it, except in desperation? If I was desperate I would probably use Copernic....
For a few weeks now, a number of posts have been appearing in this forum openly bashing KartOO, its French origin and other inappropriate comments. In a certain way this has, in fact, been beneficial to us, as it has encouraged us to continue to do our job diligently and properly.
Despite what is mentionned in this blog, this is not the Official Kartoo Blog Site!!!!
Kartoo is sorry to see this site being 'hijacked' in this way. We have always valued open discussions with our customers and will continue to do so.
We have numerous happy customers and prospects in the North America and Canada despite what is mentionned in this blog.

This DUMAS guy is a jerk. Flash-based search engines are simply JOKES. Funny again the guy who is blaming on posters who wrote about KARTOO engine being a failure. I tried it myself and can confirm Kartoo is slow and not accurate. Long life to GOOGLE! Thumbs down for KARTOO TOY
Kartoo ranked 53,632 on alexa since its launch in 2000 - how many users per day, something like a 100. Isn't it a sign? Kartoo is certainly not the kind of engine I would use for serious lookup.
That's not nice :-), I used Kartoo two minutes and got enough. No need all these stupid animationa and confusing links, I need quick and reliabe results that's why I will go straight back to GOOG the best so far I agree.

My kids love it but I prefer MSN, Google. Yahoo search OK...
Search i prefer the most is exalead.com

Viva les FULL TEXT search.

kartoo search is the most useless thing I have ever seen. I cannot believe idiots are paying for it.
====>A MSN Search and MSN Spaces lover.
Visual search SVCKS!!!!!!
kartoooooooooooooooooooooooo!
what that is?
>kartoooooooooooooooooooooooo!
>what that is?
kartoo is just another useless search.
Just performed a query, my opinion is that flash within search make them terribly slow.
Found this bad kartoo comment on this one too.
Booo!!!!
Here a much more professional search
http://www.grokker.com
At first I did like it but I will certainly not use such search on a daily basis. Too slow and not enough professional. No time for such game.

Jon seems to hate kartoo search. why?
I may understand him as i just tried it but found this kartoo thing way too slow....#^~@^\|`\{[#
This blog is not the official blog of KartOO SA. It will be close in the following days.
2 Thumbs up for Vivissimo I definetely recommend it.
Jeff Tull
Vivissimo is a great search i agree.
Kartoo is not made for a professional use, i hate the idea to use flash and found kartoo not too relevant.
I prefer text search anyway.

I tried Kartoo. I don't like it.
It's confusing and the text overlaps or spills off the window, and it's annoying having to wait seconds for a basic search result.
Thumbs DOWN for kartoo. Wait for serious improvements.
Kartoo also failed to convince users on that other blog site.
Even slower than Kartoo I fully desagree for grokker being a good product.
My opinion is that grokker.com and kartoo are useless and irrelevant engines.
As for me New MSN and Google remain the top searches ever.
I agree with most posts made over here, kartoo is really kind of useless engine. I would NOT invest a cent in such technology.
I stick with MSN search which is the for me the most relevant, i like Google search but do not think their results are fully accurate.

‹(•¿•)› ‹^›
I hate engines (like kartoo and others) that are using Macromedia Flash.
Those kartoo guys don't understand much the SE business.
Kartoo was down last time I tried it. Is Kartoo still exists ?
I found this blog about visual searches, I remember VisualBot.com used to be Kartoo a few months ago, does anybody know about it ?
Kartoo failed to maintain this site... Kartoo failed to offer relevant results, kartoo search is just another frenchy JOKE
I like this name VisualBot.com - How come Kartoo was stupid enough to loose that DN. I sent an email to purchase it but never got answers.
Did you try Pixsy Visual Search?
Kartoo is not a search engine, instead it uses a number of search engines to get the results.
Try "kartoo sucks" and see the results. Kartoo is a mega joke!!!
Kartoo ... is overrated and is not focused, pulling their search is a joke
Find out more why kartoo sucks?
I don't expect you will switch to Kartoo anytime soon, mainly because I think their representations of the search results sucks and their reach for results is not as broad as the one from Google
I clicked the "OK" button and the
error message was: "LA CASE EST VIDE". Kartoo doesn't use the best search engine: Google, so why would I want it, except in desperation? If I was desperate I would probably use Copernic....
Kartoo is a failure but KartOO helps you find jewelry....

Kartoo website is very very slow. I believe Flash isn't the pb even I think the choice was wrong. Kartoo is just a toy!, isn't it?
Kartoo flash search based is a joke. Confusing and not friendly, sorry guys!
Confusing and slow. this is what this Kartoo.com thing is
Always down, very slow while running, confusing and useless, this Kartoo.com site is kind of a ghost story!
bing is now the best engine. this kartoo thing is slow and ugly
