CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET staff on January 09, 2009

Save time when you surf with this smart add-on that offers further recommendations based on your searches. We found its recommendations very helpful.

The program's Options menu allows you to enable specific search engines, such as Google, Yahoo, MSN, and Craigslist. You can also choose the maximum number of recommendations (up to five) for the program to fetch. A tiny bull's-eye icon appears next to each search result and it leads to a list of recommendations. Each recommendation was valid and relevant to the test searches we conducted. We could even drill down within the recommendations to keep refining our search.

Basically, this program weeds through of all the useless search results and can save you valuable time. Best of all, there's no charge for this effective and useful Firefox add-on.

Publisher's description

From Surf Canyon :

Ever wonder if there is anything useful past page one of the search results? When your search returns thousands, sometimes millions, of results, there has to be something good out there. There is, and Surf Canyon will go and get it for you. It is a tiny browser extension that helps you find relevant information buried in the search results on Google, Yahoo, MSN Live search, or Craigslist. By observing real-time actions (no profiles or histories required), it figures out what you want and then goes and fetches it for you, significantly accelerating the search process. Version 3.0 includes enhanced SearchBar functionality including dropdown refinements.

CNET Editor's Note: The Download Now link will prompt a local download of the Firefox extension. To install the extension directly, open the file using your Firefox browser.

What's new in this version:

Version 3.0 includes enhanced SearchBar functionality including dropdown refinements.
