The assumption in life is people are always looking for more. Yet the actuality is people will continue to settle for less because it is familiar. You can apply that to the world of search as well.

However, every now and then you’ll have a brave soul that decides to step outside of the box and ignore the naysayers. If Larry Page and Sergey Brin would have listened to the naysayers Google would not exist and Yahoo would probably still be the most dominant search engine on the web.

It has been well over a decade since Google and Yahoo began their quest for dominance but where does that leave search now? We have the same major search engines competing over market share and they are in the same place where search was 10 years ago but with better results and more to pull from. LeapFish is challenging that status quo and saying that search hasn’t kept up with the internet and people are screaming for a new solution. Take a look for yourself;

Stoney Degeyter and Gord Hotchkiss sound off begging for new innovation in search.

Google & Yahoo made it easy for people to access information online. Search engines made it easier to learn, to express, to post, to blog, to bookmark, and to connect. So now the internet is much more than a few powerful search engines connecting websites. The internet now has a voice & a pulse. The internet now has communities; the internet now can adapt and change at a rate that makes Moore’s law look like a race between a bicycle and a Ferrari.

So where’s the engine that will bring search from the 1.0 realm of linear information to the world of 2.0 and give users the information they truly desire and not what the search engines decide they should get? We believe we are the new trend in search.

More and more major online authorities are watching and hoping and encouraging us to be that new beacon of search. We are working at it day and night, we aren’t done, we aren’t waiting and we aren’t stopping…We are the new face of search. Search 2.0 has arrived and we are just getting started.
