What does "Nuevos" mean?

Nuevos doesn't mean anything.(It has recently come to my attention that "nuevos" is in fact spanish for "new". I did not actually know that, and it's possible that I would have picked another name if I had.) It was originally a bad pun, and the result of adding two words together: New and Huevos. Huevos is the name of the software Nuevos was based on, and Huevos is a product of Ranchero Software. This, in turn, makes Huevos itself a pun, as "huevos rancheros" (roughly, "farmer's eggs") is "a dish of fried or poached eggs served on a tortilla with a spicy tomato sauce" (says New Oxford American Dictionary).

How do I get a new search engine into the list?

You can either enter one yourself (Nuevos (menu) → Preferences) or add one from the Nuevos search engine repository (Nuevos (menu) → Get More Search Engines).

Why doesn't Nuevos use Huevos' cool icon?

We like Huevos' icon as much as anyone, but we feel it's part of our obligation towards Ranchero Software to change the name and icon to help differentiate between the two. We don't want to give the impression that Nuevos is the same as Huevos. (Two different icons also makes development and testing that much easier.)

I like Nuevos and I'm loose with money. How can I donate?

Please consider donating to Ranchero Software - the makers of Huevos, the software on which Nuevos was based - before donating to Nuevos. Only donate to Nuevos if you like the things Nuevos has added, or if you're also donating to Huevos.

How is Nuevos associated with Ranchero Software's Huevos?

I'm perfectly comfortable using QuickSilver/LaunchBar/my trusty bash shell, and through plugins or shell scripts, I've already gotten the functionality offered by Nuevos. Why would I use Nuevos?

Well, you wouldn't. That doesn't mean Nuevos can't fill a need for other users.

When will there be a Windows or *NIX version?

When you send us a large amount of money.
