Sentiment Search is a search engine that crawls the Internet for reviews and opinions on a diverse range of products and services such as restaurants, movies, electronics, universities, cosmetics, and supplements.
The content is aggregated from multiple sources, processed sentence by sentence and grouped into relevant categories using sophisticated natural language processing algorithms. Each sentence is then given a sentiment rating from 1 to 10. In addition, all duplicate content and noise is removed.
This structured, categorized and quantified content enables users to navigate through large volumes of information quickly and intelligently.
The API(Beta) is available at sentimentsearch.com

What would you say a realistic rate is for a contractor?
Also, would you suggest charging per hour or day?
Thanks. We have an average rating for the subject in question above the graph. There is also a list of sources crawled below the graph (we are working on expanding this list significantly in the near future).
Thanks.
When you say 'feedback from users', are you referring to how we crawl the content or do you mean feedback from users on our site?
Hi, we are currently in the process of building an enterprise-scale crawler. However, for the purpose of this beta test, we simply chose a few pages to index to validate the effectiveness of our idea.
Hi, thanks for your comment. The sentiment analysis algorithms are being constantly fine tuned using new data sets. There are some inaccuracies but as the results are averaged out using large quantities of text, the inaccuracies do not influence the overall sentiment significantly.
Thanks. Will definitely take your idea into consideration.
Hi, at the moment the search terms are limited to the auto-complete suggestions and the terms listed on the home page. We are working hard to make this a powerful search engine.
Thanks for your comment. Comparisons are next on our to-do list. So you should see this feature online within the next few weeks.
SentimentSearch.com is a search engine that crawls the Internet for people's opinions and reviews on a diverse range of topics. The content is aggregated and filtered to provide a 'smarter' view of the information available.
We have been working on this idea for a few months now and would appreciate any feedback.
Thanks!
