When a user launches a search using your site's personalized PicoSearch Search Engine , we first weigh all of your web pages to find those that are the most relevant. Then we look up the words that the user is searching for in a fully compressed copy of your web site that is stored along with your Search Engine here at PicoSearch. So by this method, your users are shown the words that they searched for within an actual text excerpt, consisting of the 5 to 10 words before and after that word in the context of the document in which they were found. This allows your users to see immediately whether or not the discovered web pages really contain the answers to what they were looking for, without having to follow every link and scan every web page. Your users can find exactly what they want more quickly than ever, and PicoSearch is the search engine to offer you this powerful new service.
