Did they have server side access in order to copy "the manner in which you originally did the programming"? Or are they displaying results in a similar manner - leading you to assume that they are using something similar.

Don't see how they can outright copy your manner of programming without server side access. Unless this thing runs on Javascript or something.
It was just a popular search function and the programming wasn't all that difficult. One company wrote a crawler and extracted a bunch of results and another company replicated the programming that we did originally and now offers for free.

Both companies offer this service now for free and sure enough... put that extra little something to make sure that it is for FREE.

All cocksuckers...
