The method in which the Search Engine automatically "drills down" by Re-Ranking alternative results (as the developer calls it) within what I would call cascading "sub-lists" for each web page listed as each link is selected is very effective and unique way of obtaining desired results. The user can also optionally continue to "drill down" by clicking on the "target" for each selection to get the same "sub-list". This effective method of "drilling down" your search with cascading levels of "sub-lists" as you make your selections will often cull results that would otherwise typically be many pages down on the search results list. I have found that just two levels of "sub-lists" can very often find results that would have often been 20-30 pages down the list but because of the method of "targeting" results the pertinent web pages will be on the very first page nestled within the cascaded levels of "sub-lists" provided. It is nice to know that when web pages are selected they will open in a new window the way all search engines should but many actually do not unfortunately thus in this case retaining the original search results to more easily return to view other results. I have found the search elapsed time to be very fast and the "target" searches that continue to "drill down" to further detail even faster. To offer a perspective as to how fast, searching the identical thing, I found Surf Canyon each time to be at least twice as fast as Google and as you would expect the manner in which Surf Canyon "drills down" produces more pertinent results in much less time as well. I recommend Surf Canyon with a 5-star rating.
