** 2. Timway's (domain name was hksrch.com) early start of its history in 1997 July marked a very important/significant milestone for the establishment of Hong Kong searchable directory or search engine that is much earlier than Yahoo! Hong Kong. (started in 1999)   http://hk.yahoo.com/beginner/yhk.html 
*** Timway.com was founded in 1997 and the previous domain name of it is hksrch.com for Hong Kong people searching information in HK. As you can see in the domain name registration, it is first created on 1997 Sep for the domain name. With regard to the very difficult spelling of hksrch.com, the domain name has been changed to timway.com in 1999. With its 10 years of presence in HK and many people using it, (The Alexa ranking of it is 3341, http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?q=timway&url=http://www.timway.com/). The presence of it is very valuable to a lot of Internet users.
** 3. Major player in the Hong Kong portal/search industry:
***  Also, when you type "hong kong search engine" in google for finding HK webpages, you can find that it is ranked in the top 1 position. http://www.google.com.hk/search?source=ig&hl=zh-TW&q=hong+kong+search+engine&meta=cr%3DcountryHK Therefore, it is really the top most important, especially in the field of "hong kong search engine" 
***  In addition to this, you can see that timway.com is one of the biggest portal/website in Hong Kong. (source: http://searchmarketing.hk.yahoo.com/newcustomers/serviceintro/a3.html) (as you can see in the flash demo, timway.com's logo is just placed next to msn's logo) 
***  Besides, sina.com.hk (a very popular Chinese search engine) use timway.com in addition to google for finding HK webpages. http://search.sina.com.hk/cgi-bin/timway/searchtimway_xg.pl?_searchkey=shopping
