With the proliferation of news available to Internet users, news searches have become an essential tool for finding headlines that interest you. SurfWax.com has developed an innovative way of searching news.
As first reported on by ResearchBuzz.com, SurfWax has over 100,000 topics from which it can query. The site offers two ways to search news headlines.
The first one, located on the left of the site, uses a feature called LookAhead. LookAhead takes what you have typed and gives suggestions that can be clicked.
These suggestions come directly from what the user is typing, much like a filling out a form on a browser that has auto-fill turned on. These suggestions appear in a box below the search box. Simply click a topic and then click the go button. The user is then taken to a results page centering on what topic you clicked.
The other method of searching, located on the right, is a normal, keyword based headline search.
According to ResearchBuzz, this option returns a lot of results, not all of them relevant. Google powers this option, although SurfWax has stated they intend on implementing their own headline search.
