Search engine snipesearch.co.uk is among the top 1000 Websites in the UK based on the number of visitors it receives every day. Popular search engines like Google, Yahoo & Bing rule the roost on the Internet but new search engine SnipeSearch is slowly making its presence felt because its founders say their search engine throws up relevant results without letting commercial factors influence them. And, to be fair, we did conduct some experiments & realized there was some truth in their claim.

SnipeSearch is based in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire & employs very few staff. It was founded by techies Stephen Driver & Nick Lange. The duo were discussing search engine rankings & results a few years ago & both agreed that many search engines were throwing up skewed results. They often found that the regular sites they used disappeared in the search results for unknown reasons.

Driver & Lange became concerned that search engines may be preoccupied with profit than accuracy, and so decided to launch their own search engine to counter this trend. Initially, SnipeSearch utilized meta tools to provide accurate results after collating data thrown up by other search Websites. But this was an expensive method & Snipesearch also had to rely on its competitors.

This new search engine’s founders thought this was against their core value which was to provide impartial & accurate results. Their goal was not turning a profit. So snipesearch modified its algorithm & started using independent indexing. It still gathers results from other search engines but indexes them using its own system. As a result, SnipeSearch says it provides more options to users & also throws up more results than even Google.

Stephen Driver has claimed that SnipeSearch was becoming popular because it attracted repeat visitors who came to the Site for its accurate results, email service, video search option & the 100,000 songs they could listen to on the search engine’s social network. SnipeSearch also claims to be more secure as it safeguards users’ privacy.
