Experts Offer Testimonials on Surf Canyon

By: Mark Cramer

 

Surf Canyon (http://www.SurfCanyon.com) accelerates the search experience on Google, Yahoo! and Microsoft Live Search by enabling you to find relevant information buried in the search results. Employing advanced search technology, the application determines what you want and then goes as deep as page 100 of the result set to fetch it. The latest version also supports Craigslist, including image previews. This browser software is available as an add-on extension for Firefox 2 and Firefox 3 as well as a plug-in for Internet Explorer (IE6 and IE7). The application learns as you search to filter your results so that you can find the information you need. This tip is a great trick for searching. It is easy and it is free!

Here is what some experts have said about the application:

"Surf Canyon significantly improves my search experience and the deeper results it delivers are spot on virtually every time. I also really like that it functions within my existing search; once installed, I’m able to enjoy the advantages without having to adjust my habits." - Carla Thompson, senior analyst with The Guidewire Group.

"[Surf Canyon] offer[s] improvements to the pared-down search interface that we are all used to and point[s] to areas where search can be made better. What I like best about Surf Canyon is the interface. It doesn’t take you to another Web page. The recommended results just appear underneath the appropriate link. It feels more like an application than a cumbersome Website where you have to click through multiple pages to find what you want. Google could take a lesson in interface design from Surf Canyon here with all of its Ajax goodness." - Erick Schonfeld, Co-editor at TechCrunch.

"[Surf Canyon] was a much quicker way to find [a colleague’s] articles than scanning through pages of Web results." - Elinor Mills, Senior Writer at CNET.

"After having spent time analyzing Surf Canyon’s product, we believe that, because of its ability to quickly and easily enable users to locate relevant information that might otherwise have been impossible to find, real-time personalization represents a significant next step in the evolution of search." - Gene Munster, a Managing Director and Senior Research Analyst at Piper Jaffray who specializes in Internet and Digital Media.
