Innovative function to be implemented

We all agree that Google is the most powerful and popular search engine on the internet because it includes the largest database with websites from all around the world. Beside this, the search engine allows you to search for patents, universities, books, blog posts, jobs, products, news, maps and many other important elements. It seems like the search engine concept will be an old term because the search giant plans to include an additional feature that will enable you to search for people located in the entire world.

Do you think it's impossible? Well, it's not. Long Time Lost is a service that is meant to help the giant search engines achieve this plan, sending them important information that will be included on the index. Let me explain you how does this feature work. Long Time Lost allows you to enter information about persons in the entire world, as well as pictures and useful details. Then, the service will send this information to Google that will index it and will display it after a user searches for the name of the person.

"Long Time Lost is a free "service" (more so it is a software app written by someone who had some spare time, good programmer friends, a little bit of creativity and a lot of coffee) that allows you to create a "search" for someone you lost touch with.

That "search" is then indexed by Google (and other search engines) and then when that person you are looking for (or someone who knows them) does a "Vanity Search" (the process of searching for one's own name on Google... we know you do it!) they find your "search" and can respond to you and reconnect. All information is handled through the system so your private information like your email address isn't out there on the net," the developers described the product.

If you want to test this service, all you need to is to visit the official website of the service, register and complete your information. After that, wait for a while and search Google for your name. I hope it works?
