My OperaThe Advancement of the Internet Leaves Search Overlooked.

The assumption in life is people are always looking for more. Yet the actuality is people will continue to settle for less because it is familiar. You can apply that to the world of search as well.
However, every now and then you’ll have a brave soul that decides to step outside of the box and ignore the naysayers. Without that individual Google would cease to exist and Yahoo would still be the most dominant search engine on the web. But my question is where is that next brave soul?
It has been well over a decade since Google and Yahoo began their quest for dominance but where does that leave search now? We have the same exact major search engines competing over Market Share, the same exact place where Search was 10 years ago just with better results and more to pull from. LeapFish is challenging that status quo.
Stoney deGeyter posed a challenging question to the masses when he stated, “If you're a searcher, you have to ask yourself if you really do get superior results from Google or if you just think you do. Even if you do, are the results on the other engines that much inferior that you can't find what you want?”
The answer is no, technology is far too advanced to miss a result now. The results are not inferior they are simply different. But is it wrong to feel confident in a company that proved there was a better way to search the web? No, in fact you should be encouraged because they forced Yahoo, MSN and the rest of the Search world to step up their game.
The Facebooks, Myspaces, YouTubes , etc… would be a mere thought without the advancements major search engines made. Google & Yahoo made it easy for people to access information online. Search engines made it easier to learn, to express, to post, to blog, to bookmark, and to connect. So now the internet is much more than a few powerful Search Engines connecting websites. The internet now has a voice & a pulse. The internet now has communities; the internet now can adapt and change at a rate that most of us can not even conceive.
So where’s the search tool that will search it all, defragment data online and consolidate it just like Google did 10 years ago? There are many choices out there from meta search engines to brand new engines that can get you results. Try them and see which one best fits your needs; LeapFish could be the one for you!
