Huckabuck.com enhances Google, Yahoo and MSN search engines by offering its users a way to customize their search. Huckabuck flips the notion of a one-size-fits-all search engine on its
head by allowing its users to tune their own search settings. Three new search feeds have been added including tag search, blog search, and news search into its interface. These new
search feeds are powered by del.icio.us, Technorati, and Digg, respectively.
Huckabuck employs Search Tuners that act like graphic equalizers to weight each search engine according to an individual's8217;s preferences. Additionally, Huckabuck has grouped the most
useful Search Tuner settings into Presets, including: metasearch, blog search, shopping, research and technology search.
To see the value in this approach, take for example a user searching for Bill Gates. Does he intended to return historical information or recent news about Gates Using the Metasearch
Preset for the phrase, 's8220;bill gates,'s8221; would return biographical information (similar to Google) about the Microsoft founder. However, using the Blog Search Preset, Huckabuck
would return results that reflect Gate's8217;s recent announcement to retire in 2007.
's8220;Huckabuck is able to cut right to the heart of a searcher's8217;s intent,'s8221; says Chris Schultz, Huckabuck.com President. 's8220;By aggregating a variety of sources into one,
clean interface, searchers can find more relevant and better information, faster. This method of search is exclusive to Huckabuck.'s8221;
Searching on Huckabuck is easy. Our job of making search easier and better is a little more complicated. The del.icio.us search feed enables searches tags, or user generated descriptions
of Web sites that are kept in Del.icio.us's8217; database. The Technorati feed searches blogs in real-time, and by incorporated them into a general search, results contain more
late-breaking information. Digg is a community powered technology news Web site, and the Digg feed includes news items in their search results.
