Metasearch Can Cut Research Time by Half
June 11, 2012
There is a new Meta search engine that has entwined Google, Yahoo and Bing results into its database according to announcements. Sperse also implements real-time results from Twitter, thus returning more comprehensive, relevant and fast results. Harnessing the information of multiple providers at once could decrease research time by half.
Founded in 2008, Sperse has implemented some unique features that make it stand out in the meta search engines crowd:
“Unlike other search offerings, users will also be able to optionally streamline their selections through Sperse’s ability to offer color images displayed in conjunction with the selected results. Additionally, when results are displayed, the ‘Preview’ options shows a live preview of the website and helps users save substantial time by promptly identifying the content they need. Also the integration of several specialized search fields i.e. Web, Images, Audio, News, Video, and others creates a centralized platform for professional users to filter the content they need.”
Sperse also offers AdLight, their premier platform for search, display and performance marketing. This ‘smart advertising’ platform utilizes Sperse’s network of publishing properties and search engines to amplify target access. Use ability, convenience and ease of access for consumers increases ROI for advertisers.
Summer is here, and shaving off a few hours of research can provide some time to enjoy it. Sperse takes one query and sends it to different indexes, gets the results, and shows them in one result list. The idea is that you don’t have to run the same query in different search systems, so it is a time saver.
