NowRelevant is definitely looking to compete with Google’s Advanced Search options to allow users to access real-time content. (Please read, “Google Integrates Real Time Search Results“). For the fun of it, let us compare the results given above with what Google provides as seen in Figure 3.

Clearly, Google is able to cover much more of the web as seen in thee number of hits: 306 vs 6 for NowRelevant. Although this is understandable considering that the tool is in the beta testing phase, it would be great to see results from Web 2.0 and information available in .pdf.
