Snap — The other way to Search

Snap is a new search engine that offers a very different alternative to the Big Search, Text-In, Text-Out, method. Snap is visual. Snap is fast. Snap is Interactive.

The Snap Difference #1:    Fast Visual Display of Results Previews

We believe the visual display of data along with text is better than text alone. Users can better judge a result to be good for their search if they see it rather than read it. When Snap returns results, we show you a preview of the result. The Snap Results-Left/Preview-Right interface concept eliminates much of the guesswork of search, and thus greatly reduces the number of unproductive back and forth clicks to determine if a site is worth your time. We call this Fast Browsing.

The Snap Difference #2:   Actively Anticipating Your Intent

From the moment you type one letter in our search box, Snap begins to actively anticipate your intent. A drop down menu appears instantly, offering popular search terms, synonyms, and other suggestions that greatly speed your search experience.

There are also fun widgets…you can type in a zip code and a map pops up to the right.     If you add “weather” next to the zip, the relative info is shared as well.
