Final words

Ever since the inception of Google and its powerful and accurate algorithm, there’s been an influx of search engines trying to compete for its massive user base. This project was sure a treat. I love the idea of being able to assist the user in searching on the web; something we all do multiple times a day, every day and surely take for granted. But there’s honestly a lot that goes into it. While Searchona is a meta search engine, our emphasis was on making a simple UI that was straight to the point and easy for the user to navigate through. We gave the user the key to their own search vehicle, giving them options to choose which search engine to use.
