If you are not happy with specific search results on Google but like the results on Yahoo or MSN or the other way round then SCOUR is for you. It is built on the top of Google, Yahoo and MSN and shows the best of all these search engines. What it does is that that it fetches search results from Google, Yahoo and MSN and shows them on a single page. Scour doesn't only combine results from all these search engines but also tell you the page rank on particular search engine. Also, you can sort results on the basis of search engine.
There are some more things Scour is offering other than combining results from Google, Yahoo and MSN. It allows users to comment on search results and to rate results (thumbs up and thumbs down). See this DEMO for more information. Now, if above all doesn't create enough incentive for you then there are reward points which you can redeem as VISA gift cards. You can also increase your social network by interacting with other Scour users having the same interest. Not only this but you will also get reward points if you refer your friends to Scour. You will get 25% of your referral's points.
You earn the following number of points for each action:
- 1 = Search
- 2 = Vote
- 3 = Comment
- 25,000 = $100
- 12,500 = $50
- 6,500 = $25
It couldn't come out as I expected it to be.
1) It took a lot of time in collecting results.
2) Even after taking a lot of time in searching, its ranking is pathetic.
2) The SCOUR tool bar screws the behavior of your browser (at least in case of Firefox3)
