Update: Leapfish stopped being a search engine and stopped offering domain name appraisals at the beginning of 2008.
LeapFish, a multi-dimensional search engine, qualifies as my pick for the ‘fastest search engine’ title. LeapFish has recently introduced their click-free search.
That’s right, go on over to LeapFish and try it for yourself. The LeapFish technology, click-free search, shows you the search results as you type. You no longer have to hit the “enter” key on your keyboard to see the search results. For many, including myself, the click-free technology actually speeds up searches.
Let’s look at an example. I went over to LeapFish.com and entered my name, “Bill Hartzer”. By the time I had finished typing in my name I had the search results. Now that’s fast:
With this click-free technology, LeapFish is attempting to push search to 2.0. They are trying to say, literally: “out with the search button.” LeapFish’s click-free search interface gives us a fast, fluid and dynamic search experience that takes the search results data from major online sites like Google, YouTube, Ebay and combines them into a single search query. Consolidating a knowledge base of relevancy and variety from major online authorities, LeapFish effectively renders more comprehensive results than those returned by its providers.
According to LeapFish, the inspiration behind their search engine has “been the opportunity to provide an answer to the information overload and the fragmentation of accessibility that is naturally occurring online today. If relevancy, the currently defined search formula, continues to be limited by the virtual real estate allotted by page 1 of the major search engines, then the variety and accessibility of the breadth of the web is being lost in the information overload. LeapFish works to capture this variety in a new multidimensional, and now instantaneous, click-free search interface.”
Even though the search results come up quicker than any other search engine today, the click-free search is actually pretty complex. It uses proprietary hyper-threading technology to communicate with a growing list of over 200 online authorities, currently under development, to deliver more than just relevancy to users. LeapFish launched its search platform in November 2008 and is currently seeking patents for its new offering.
Take LeapFish for a spin right now, try it for yourself, and let me know if you think that LeapFish really is the fastest search engine. I bet you’ll agree. Enter your search phrase in the area below.
