About Tumble Search

 back to Tumble Search

As search idealists, we have watched recent changes in the search industry with great interest. Google, Yahoo, Bing and Ask all have there own search criteria, That give Internet searchers a choice of four different major search algorithms (Google, Yahoo, Bing, and Ask). It also made us wonder: how different these major search engines are, and is one any one of them better than the others?

We created the Tumble Search engine as a comparative research tool to answer these questions. Using Tumble Search, we learned that search engines are more different than people may think, Results typically show the big four sharing fewer than 4.5 of their top 10 results.

We also found that a comparative tool like Tumble Search gives users far more control over their searches and, in many cases, better search results than from any single search engine.

Our hope is that everyday internet users and advanced search users find Tumble Search an interesting and useful tool to get better search results.

Why else would you use Tumble Search?

  • You see much more of the web. The leading search engines are much more different than people think, and typically have fewer than 4.5 of their top 10 results in common. By using only one search engine, you are very likely missing relevant results.
  • You get a "second opinion" on the results from your favorite site. The results that make the top 10 on both, say, Google and Yahoo, are probably great results that should be closer to the top of the results list... which is exactly where Tumble Search puts them.
  • You save time and get better results by searching your favorite search engine, Instead of just seeing 10 highly ranked results from one search engine, you see highly ranked results combined on a single page.
