Googlefight – Turning Google search into a battlefield

Googlefight is an innovative use of Google search. It is a simple brawl of words.

Load Googlefight and you’ll see two text boxes, one that reads Keyword#1 and the other Keyword#2. Enter any keywords you’d like into these text boxes, click ‘Make A Fight’, and you’ll see two stick figures punching and kicking each other.

When the dust settles a moment later, you’ll see a bar graph with two rising bars, one for each keyword string you typed, along with a number that indicates how many instances of your string Google found on the Web. The more common keyword combo, obviously, wins.

Googlefight has minimal system requirements. All you need is an internet connection and a browser with the free flash player installed.

The contenders for the fight are limited only by your imagination. It could be cheeseburgers vs. hamburgers or Teddy bears vs Godzilla.

Googlefight does have useful purposes too. For example, if you want to use a figure of speech but you’re not exactly sure about it, you can use Googlefight to double check the expression. So, if you’re not sure if it’s “feed a fever and starve a cold,” or “feed a cold and starve a fever,” you can use Googlefight to find out which one appears which one appears most often on the Web.

Sandeep, the tool is not a product of google. But the result is fetched from the Google search engine.
To find the hottest searches on the web you could try Google Hot Trends. Check out my earlier Post.
