LeapFish has been getting a lot of press lately and we just want to say thank you to all of the different Newspapers, Bloggers and Media friends who have seen the value in the direction that LeapFish is taking in Search.
The biggest challenge LeapFish has faced to-date is a person taking a 2 minute look at the engine and making an assumption that it is JUST another metasearch. Thankfully, people have been digging in deeper and seeing the real foundation and value behind the super fast click-free interface (yes we love that part too!) by digging into the backbone and mission of what we are solving for the user today. And that solution is enabling you to get the information you truly desire and not what the search engine deems you should get.
LeapFish has a familiar search results page – but we have made the familiar better. We aren’t reinventing the wheel we are just taking the old stone wheel and creating a more efficient wheel and building a car around it so you can travel to new places on the internet quicker, a place that you would have missed on an old stone wheel. Why not see more results than you find just on the first page of the other engines? At LeapFish you get more; more variety, more videos, more shopping, more blogs and more of the things you care about but would have never seen.
So we encourage you to take a deep look at LeapFish. As I spoke to Scott Harris at the San Jose Mercury News I walked him through some of the unique features that LeapFish has to offer and he was surprised at what LeapFish delivered to him. Results that he wasn’t finding on the other engines. An excerpt from the San Jose Mercury News Story confirmed that;
But when I typed in the name of my friend Peter Schmuck, LeapFish called up not only his The Schmuck Stops Here blog in the Baltimore Sun, but a photo and a mildly humorous video. I was even more surprised to see a photo of baseball pro J.J. Putz — all because of a memorable story headlined “Schmuck Interviews Putz.”
So we say “dig deeper” and find out what all of the press is about – here is more of the press we received and again Thank You to all of people who took that deeper look and discovered more;

I received only one phone call that was very helpful and not aggressive. After some research, within a few days I decided to purchase two keywords. My experience was professional and business like, not like mentioned above. Keep up the good work and lets hope the others can stop the negativity.
