Most of the search engines functioning today on the World Wide Web such as Google, Yahoo and Bing are equipped with advanced features to give the information-seekers the best information accessing experience. Amongst this crowd and competition of the search engines, a new search engine blekko is emerging and is hoping to connect the human touch in order to present more relevant search results that are spammer and content-farm free. The search engine eventually slashes the spam from the search results and delivers the most relevant and high quality results.

The search engine has been designed and developed after keeping in mind the requirement of today’s web surfers and the quality they want to access on the web.This major design has three main features:

1.The search engine exposes multiple search categories to help the users to navigate to high quality results more efficiently and with fewer queries.

2.The search engine supports a responsive design that adjusts to tablet and desktop screen sizes.

3.The search engine has been designed with a new aesthetic and navigational approach so that the users find information accessing an engaging experience.

The search engine blekko is small as compared to the technology giants yet it has raised $24 million for the past three years in the hope of developing a useful search engine that will be beneficial for the information seekers.
                                                             

Features that make the search engine blekko apart from others:

1. Slash tags: If we talk about the features being implemented in the search engine, what makes it different from others is the introduction of a key feature to their search engine called “slash tags”. A slash tag is more like an additional description which you could add to your search query to make it a more personal search.A list of other slash tags can also be used as well as personalized ones that can be saved and shared by the users.

2. Filtering spam and unimportant links:
The search engine not only filters spam websites the users can also label a certain website by clicking spam right below its name.The process is similar to comment boxes all over the web that has a spam button along with others.

3. Website information: The search engine believes that the site information should be public so an “SEO” button or “Search Engine Optimization” button is available along with the “tag” and “spam” button. The “SEO” button shows all the referring search engine and sites along with specific figures.

Accessing SEO data: The search results being offered by the search engine provides a list of links to the search results page URL sorted by relevance or date. You can access SEO data for any domain or URL by clicking the SEO link below any page in search results.

The search engine blekko is equipped with advanced features and its chief innovation i.e. the concept of slash tags are designed to give the users a never before information accessing experience.

The search engine blekko is one of the newest search engines functioning in today’s date on the World Wide Web and comes with some great feature for its user base so that they can get high quality, spam-free and relevant information.
