WhatiSS is a question answer search engine making use of Yahoo BOSS. Now Yahoo added pricing policy for their search results, changed their API and even limited the max number of search results to 50.
I built this for fun after leaving my first job. The site won Windows Azure DataMarket contest.
WhatiSS was initially a custom search engine for QA sites. Later added some contextual ranking, removing in-appropriate links, also added TrueKnowledge, WolframAlpha API's.
I shut down the site on August last year after discovered that the top results are misleading or completely wrong according to some search queries. I found that the answers posted in certain qna sites are completely wrong, which lead to shut down.
The site is down for the last few months. I also have another idea about WhaiSS. For the time being i am taking down the site.
Thank you Lord Jesus Christ.
