WOT and Surf Canyon make search safer (and smarter)

Surfcanyon Web of Trust is pleased to support Surf Canyon, an alternative search assistant that digs deep to find relevant information contained in search results on Google, Yahoo, Live Search, Lexis Web and Craigslist.

When conducting a search, Surf Canyon analyzes your query and pulls search results as deep as page 100. With Surf Canyon installed, each of those results gets a little bullseye icon next to it. Click the bullseye, and Surf Canyon opens a section with suggested search results that it thinks match your selected item. For example, I did a search for ”dolphins” and got loads of results—Miami Dolphins football team, a research paper on the intelligence of dolphins, a film called Dolphins and more.

SurfCanyon search results

I want information on the animal called dolphin, so I click the bullseye on one of the results and Surf Canyon brought 3 additional search results forward - one that looks good is from page 18! I would never go to page 18 on my own, so this is no less than miraculous. I find what I want, and a page that hardly sees the light of day gets pulled to the front of the results pack.

  SurfCanyon deep search results

With the release of Surf Canyon’s newest version, you are protected by WOT as you browse deep into the Web. The new version works with Firefox and IE8.

Download Surf Canyon and enhance your search today.

    Great!

    That's great! Now I can finally use this add-on, I always liked it, but I couldn't be without WOT.

    Very useful

    A nice alternative to many popular search engines and with WOT included but WOT is not always added to the deeper pages that are brought to the bullseye pages that are brought in to the search results.

      Re: Very useful

      Only Firefox is supported at the moment. Are you using IE by any chance?

    Re: very useful

    Hi Sami, although I use FF most of the time I'm playing on my other PC which has IE so that would explain it. Thank you :-)

    WOT ratings on Surf Canyon Pages

    Would it be possible to have WOT ratings appear on actual Surf Canyon search results, such as http://search.surfcanyon.com/search?q=WOT&action=s...?

      re: WOT ratings on Surf Canyon Pages

      At this time, you have to have the SurfCanyon browser extension to see WOT ratings, but we are working on a solution with them.
