The Best Discovery Engine of the Year – Surf Canyon, Charles Knight, The Next Web (Mar 4)
Surf Canyon won the About.com Web Search Reader’s Choice Award Winners for 2010 as "best search engine".
SurfCanyon is a browser add-on - that enhances search results at Google, Yahoo, Bing and Craigslist by being able to show "more like this" based on an analysis of words (roughly). It also has a web page - search engine style.
"Using Surf Canyon as your starting page or by downloading the tiny, safe Surf Canyon browser extension you will see the little Surf Canyon bull’s eye icon next to each search result. Click on that and in almost every case Surf Canyon will pull search results like that one from as far down as 20 pages deep (100 pages deep is the theoretical max)."
