Why Ava Find ?
If Google is the best in search results the same way Ava Find is the best in Offline Search. Here I mean the Desktop Search. Its a better alternate for Microsoft default search. I always scans our files and stores the summary in search cache.

Thus its search results are very accurate and search items(files based on the key words specified in the search box) are obtained as in seconds like the Google Search Results also obtain results in seconds..

Search toolbar
The Find box lets you search for a file or folder by name. The Browse buttons are specialized searches that match specific kinds of files.

Search Mechanism
The search cache is part of the search engine built into Ava Find to deliver fast search results. When you run a search in Ava Find, search results are generated from the search cache. The search cache needs to be kept up to date otherwise search results may become inaccurate. The search cache is kept up to date by the Scout Bot and scheduled refreshes.

Customized Search Engine Page

Pimp My Search was a innovative website used to create a Google lookalike webpage, replacing the word "Google" with a word or phrase of the user's choice.

It is a non-commercial website and is not connected to Google, Inc.Pimp My Search was started in 2006, but became popular only in 2008 after featured in many media websites and YouTube videos.

Similiar kind of website is http://shinysearch.com. I have visited this website where you are presented with a simple customization choice, choose your background and then enter your name or handle you want to be displayed.

But more than just simply searching, if you notice the top left of the page you will see an array of drop down lists. You can easily have access to one click email, social networks, news sites and miscellaneous resources like Craigslist, Amazon.com, Wikipedia…etc.

There are dozens of different backgrounds separated out for “Boys and Girls” and if you are the type of person who just uses a plain Google search page as your home page, you can customize it so that its more visually appealing and you have one click access to some other useful sites right from your homepage.

Shiny Search does not install as an add-on or plug-in, just a cookie and sets as homepage.

Blackle saves Energy

www.blackle.com

Blackle is another search engine in Web market. It was launched in January 2007. This website came out with a purpose of saving the energy.

Blackle is powered by Google Custom Search, which aims to save energy by displaying a black background.

The fact is that white background consumes more power for normal monitor than black background.

Blackle Idea

Computer monitors can be made to consume less energy by displaying much darker colors. The website says that it has tested its page in a variety of CRT and LCD monitors.

This concept was first brought to the attention of Heap Media by a blog post, which estimated that Google could save 750 megawatt hours a year by utilizing it for CRT screens.

The homepage of Blackle provides a count of the number of watt hours that have been saved by enabling this concept.
