KDE Google Fight!

Friday, 9 September 2005  |  manyoso

I was playing with googlefight today when it occurred to me to run a few KDE names through the gauntlet... Amused, I decided to use Google's web API to run the list of kde-ev member names and produce the first KDE-Google-Fight-Royal-Rumble :=)

Methodology:

  1. Each name is taken verbatim from the kde-ev member list and properly quoted. ie, can't complain if you have a complicated name or used your initials ;)
  2. The parameters for the search were: ( start=0, maxResults=10, filter=false, restrict="linux", safeSearch=false, lr="", ie="", oe="" )
  3. Explanations for the parameters can be found here.
  4. The results are estimated and not exact.

So, who reigns supreme? Who's names are splashed all over the KDE web? The KDE Google Fight World Champion is?

  1. "Matthias Ettrich" 11800
  2. "Bernhard Rosenkraenzer" 9050
  3. "Aaron Seigo" 2040
  4. "Boudewijn Rempt" 1570
  5. "Roberto Alsina" 1560
  6. "Thiago Macieira" 1400
  7. "Kurt Pfeifle" 1240
  8. "Stephan Kulow" 1000
  9. "Jonathan Riddell" 1000
  10. "David Faure" 1000

Read on to see the full list...

UPDATE: If your name isn't on the list you can use something similar to this: http://www.google.com/search?maxResults=10&filter=false&lr=&ie=&oe=&restrict=linux&safeSearch=false&start=0&q=%22Michael+Pyne%22

Just change 'Michael Pyne' to whatever name you want to check... ;)
