Snap.com is actually five different pieces that all work together to help you get what you're looking for faster.
With Snap.com Classic Web Search do a search and you get back a list of possibilities, just like you would with any other search engine. Unlike other search engines, you don't have to click on links to see what they point to. Just hover your mouse over the link and we'll show you a visual preview or a text summary or even a video. Whatever's most appropriate. And since you'll know what a link points to, you won't waste time going to the wrong sites.
If you jumped from 1996 to one of today's search engines, you'd barely notice any difference. Except for one. With Snap.com Enhanced Web Search, we bring you nice big pictures of the sites you're looking for and then let you scroll through them. Even use your up and down arrow keys.
When you look at a website first, you make an instant decision on whether it's the right one for you. That saves you time and aggravation because you're not bouncing back and forth to the wrong pages.
Snap.com Image Search is designed to act like a program on your computer, not like a website. So instead of clicking from page to page, you click the up and down, left and right arrows and navigate through the results like a photo album. And because the web is so unpredictable, we even go out ahead of you and make sure the picture your looking for is still there the ones that aren't get an X and disappear.
It's so easy, even a child could use it, which makes it a fun way to teach toddlers about computers. Try a search for "Elmo" and you'll see.
