14 DAY TRIAL // There's no secret that web searching today is dominated by Google and that major effort is invested by competition to balance the market share. The global perspective of the usage statistics shows the Mountain View company shattering all rivalry with a smashing percentage of 83% for the month of August. That's a helluva slice of the world's web searches.
If you think that web searching cannot be optimized even more than it is now, you're in for a surprise because there is plenty of uncharted territory left to explore and further possibilities have already popped out. Meta-searches have not yet been introduced to the common user, but the idea has been toyed with and even materialized into something somewhat concrete. Fusionsearch is part of the new breed of search engines, meta-search engines.
It does not come with its own search algorithm, but instead provides you the power of the three most powerful services on the web: Google, Yahoo! and Bing. To make it even more interesting, add the fact that information also comes from the language-based engine WolframAlpha.
Fusionsearch is capable of combining the web results of all aforementioned services as well as their image answers to your query. The looks are simple and clean, with all the options present in the main window. There isn't too much to fiddle with and beside taking a look at statistics to see the number of Fusionsearch, Google, Yahoo! and Bing performed and links clicked, enabling/disabling the engines that do the research for you or integrating Fusionsearch into the search bar of the web browser (Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox) there is nothing else to set up.
All this effort is performed asynchronously with the help of AJAX so that you won't notice the refresh operations of the web browser, giving you a smooth list of results to pick from. As in many cases more than one result page is likely to be displayed, Fusionsearch uses pre-caching technology to load all the pages starting with the second one while you read the first list of results.
Although the web address for Fusionsearch is quite tough to remember (at least until the project reaches higher stages of development and gains more popularity), the developers do provide an easy way to access its services by integrating it in the most popular web browsers on the market: Internet Explorer and Firefox. This can be achieved by accessing the Integrate tab to the top left hand side of the window and performing the action included in it. The result will be the addition of Fusionsearch in the set of search engines available in the web browser's search bar.
The utility of such a service needs no explaining because amassing the results of various search engines on a single page is evidently both time and effort saving. Fusionsearch does not address Google-dependent users who use the Mountain View company's service unconditionally disregarding all other choices. It is destined for those eager to retrieve as much relevant information with as little effort as possible.
With Fusionsearch you eliminate the need to look for the same information in different search engines separately. It will also arrange the data according to its relevance in the search engine it was retrieved from. Image search is executed in the exact same way.
Fusionsearch is developed by a non-profit organization that aims at creating services and software for free with no intention to offer them for money. However, at a later time, in order to monetize, they will develop add-ons that will be paid.
