FirstStop
WebSearch, LLC
FirstStop WebSearch, LLC evolved as a result of unexpected
fame. In December 2000 Brush Systems Group, Inc. (BSG) released
FirstStop WebSearch™ to the public as freeware to test its
meta search performance. During the first week, we experienced
thousands of down loads and in the following weeks we received
an overwhelming number of awards and kudos from grateful
users.
Over
the next four months we registered over a quarter million
downloads. This presented a great opportunity, but an interesting
challenge for BSG. BSG had all of its resources committed
to a demonstration productą for FirstStop Component Technologies™
(FSCT). Also the intended user interface for the web search
was based on using an Internet browser. The Windows interface
was only intended to be temporary to facilitate the public
testing of the search performance.
Consequently,
FirstStop WebSearch, LLC was formed in January 2001 to refine
and market the web search component. FirstStop WebSearch™
was officially released on May 1, 2001.

Answers
to common questions
What
is the FirstStop WebSearch™ for?
For individuals, corporations or organizations that want
fast, quality internet search results that can be refined
at "desktop" speeds and saved in useful formats. FirstStop
WebSearch™ offers sophisticated information retrieval with
a built-in wizard for advance searches; result management
and analysis; result tracking and reporting; and result
sharing functions - it is a desktop office application for
Internet users. Users of FirstStop experience a large increase
in productivity from its automated searches, since the user
simultaneously taps into the best sources and is then provided
consolidated results.
Why
search multiple engines?
A single search engine only holds a small percentage
of the information available on the Internet. In addition,
there is very little overlap from one search engine to the
other. A good selection of multiple sites significantly
improves the quantity and quality of search results.
The meta search (multi-search engine search) provide information
coverage, independence from the nuances of particular search
engines, and speed. They also provide a measure of robustness
since they are not tied to a particular search engine.
