Snap

  • Snap is something which google might become in near future, as everything is getting AJAX’ed nowadays ;). As the title suggests, It’s indeed a marvelous way of searching. With some of the top programmers behind the project, there is no wonder it does so well. Most of the menu and search features are AJAX enabled and is interesting to use and has shortcut keys feature. Clicking on a search result displays an preview of the website (with three level visual zoom) without leaving the search results and further clicking leads to the website in the same Snap iFrame.
    Snap another great feature is Snap widgets

    Snap Coupon Widget : Snap automatically coupons / special offers relavant to the search result.
    Snap Navigation/Company Widget : Snap’s first result on a company or navigation search will be a 360° view.
    Snap Map Widget : Typing the Zip code of a city returns a map.
    Snap Weather Widget : Typing the Zip code of a city with keyword “weather” gets you the weather report.
    Snap allows direct iinteractivity with the preview site, without having to leave your results behind. You can plug in your dates and destinations for travel, you can pick the car make and model or you can copy those lyrics…all while still having access to your results list. In addition, for those of you power users who like this feature, but want it on all the time, we offer an Active-X preview control, which makes this direct interactivity the default mode.

    Getting you to your end destination as fast as possible is our mission. We call this Speed to Satisfaction and it has very little to do with how quickly a page downloads and everything to do with how quickly one can make sense of the data once it’s presented.
