Snap - search engine from ideaLabs

Snap BETA

This unique new search engine makes it easier than ever to find information on the Web — and get the results you really want.

* Up until now, web searching has been largely a matter of "hunt and peck" and "hit or miss.":

You'd type in a query, hit ENTER, and then pore through a sea of results — some good, most of them useless. Not any more. Snap sorts, filters, and presents results in unique ways, so you get to the results you need — faster.

* Instead of just relying on computer algorithms to rank search results, Snap also uses click-stream information from a network of one million Internet users.

By recording and processing which Web sites these users spend time on, and which sites they quickly leave, Snap improves the likelihood that the search results you get will be the results you’re really looking for.

* Snap lets you sort and filter as you type your search query.

Just as fast as you type, it brings specific word matches to the top and eliminates results that do not match — until you find exactly what you're looking for.

* Snap makes it easier than ever to shop online.

It offers the only product search tool that allows you to filter and sort through product information seamlessly — based on the specific features and criteria that are important to you. And once you zoom in on the product you want to buy, you have instant access to a wide variety of merchants selling that particular product.

* Snap gives you all the data you need to make informed decisions.

When you're making purchasing decisions online, trust is paramount. The last thing you want is your search engine to try and steer you toward a particular product. Snap offers complete transparency — there's nothing "up our sleeves." You get all the information you need to make your own purchasing decisions, including what other buyers are doing, how much they're paying, their purchasing trends over time, and lots of other useful data. So you're in control of the buying process.

Snap is brought to you by Idealab, a creator and operator of technology companies.
