Search engines are the backbone of the Internet and provide people with a method of finding the information that they need  easily and effectively  . Most people are  used to using a search engine at least every once in awhile to research information, find a product that they need, find a service that they need or to look up the  most recent news  . Search engines can be used to find just about  every  kind of information that you want or need at any given moment .

One  typical   issue  that people tend to  run into  with search engines however, is that a good majority of the search results displayed after a search is performed is not relevant to what the user  was looking for  . Over the past  several years  , the  top three  search engines have developed technologies that  attempt to keep  the irrelevant pages and websites from appearing in the search results, but no system  is perfect  .

A new search engine known as NowRelevant.com is currently in BETA and is scheduled to be released shortly. NowRelevant.com does  several things differently that  current search engines have failed to do. If you have used a search engine before, then  you have an understanding  that when the results come up, you could  typically  spend several months sifting through the hundreds or thousand of results pages that  show up  . If you searched for a popular keyword or phrase, the information that you want or need may be on that first page, but it may also be on page  fifty  . This can lead to a lot of frustration from the Internet user and  prevent a good deal of information from being found  .

NowRelevant.com  solves  this  problem  by only displaying the last 2 weeks worth of information on what  the user  searched for. To put it simply,  the user  won’t be sifting through several pages of information that is old and not up to date. By only providing the user with new information that has been published over the last 2 weeks, users can feel  better  knowing that they are only looking at relevant information.

Another great feature of NowRelevant.com is that there is a slider bar that  enables you  to decide whether you want to view only new information from the last day; new information from the last two weeks or anything in between. Along with finding the most relevant information in the time frame that you chose, you are going to be able to see whether or not the keywords or phrase that you searched for is a current trend. For example, if you search a key phrase and set the slider to one day and you are given several different links to view, then you would  quickly  be able to figure out that what you searched for is currently a popular term.

NowRelevant.com offers pay per click (PPC) advertising just like other search engines do, but there are a few exceptional changes  in the options that people have for their ad campaigns:

• Those who purchase PPC ads have the  choice  of standard text ads
• Those who purchase PPC ads can also purchase banner ads that will display in the side bar. Currently, other search engines do not have this option .
• Those who purchase PPC ads have a  3rd  option of embedding videos as their ads. Instead of text or a banner ad, users will see the videos in the side bar and can even watch them from there.

One last notable thing about this new engine is that there is no junk . Users are only given relevant results in the time frame that they specified and the results do not include any spam or clutter. People want to find information quickly and they do not want to spend wasted time looking at outdated material and that is exactly what this search engine will eliminate.
