TechCrunch suggests and then dismisses the possibility that Apple may be building a search engine.

According to the site, they had heard some reports that Apple might be working on a search engine, but thus far the evidence does not seem to pan out:

But one important fact that isn’t checking out - if Apple were building a search engine, they’d be hiring search experts and engineers. We’ve talked to a ton of them at all the big companies, and while some of them heard the same rumors, none have lost search employees to Apple, or heard of any specific hirings.

TechCrunch speculates that the rumors may simply be a product of Apple building a better mobile search interface without reinventing the entire search engine.

i don't think apple is building a search engine, but that would be pretty cool though i guess

i don't think they are

i don't think so either

yeah, no way

but knowing apple, you really never know, but i don't understand why apple would do this

i highly doubt apple will do this

i really don't think apple will do this

no way apple will do this

yep, no way
