That's because Google's too smart for itself (or rather, it's geared toward the illiteracy of the average Septic). It assumes you actually wanted to search for "radar," so gives those results instead. It does eventually list CRADAR, at position 17 down the results list. Unfortunately, I can't use it in its current form with my current 'phone - on one sensitivity level it doesn't pick anything up (ok, so I didn't throw my 'phone at the wall), whilst on the immediate next setting it triggers at a bee's fart. From what I've seen of the comments, I'm not alone with this problem - so I'm hoping the author develops some form of calibration system to make it work with all 'phones. To make things easier, those with either Google Goggles or a bar code scanner app can go to http://yak.net.au/t1/cradar.jpg then point their 'phone at the screen. Those who don't have Goggles yet - get 'em! Not only is it fun to search by picture, but it's the quickest QR reader I've found. -- Bob Milutinovic Cognicom |
