I've been using the plug-in for several weeks now and have quickly grown to love it.
— Carla Thompson, Senior Analyst at The Guidewire Group
Surf Canyon eliminates the need to repeatedly search within results. I no longer have to try to think like an Algorithm. As soon as I find one needle in the haystack of results, Surf Canyon pulls out the others.
— Marcus S., Attorney
What I like best about Surf Canyon is the interface. It doesn't take you to another Web page. The recommended results just appear underneath the appropriate link. It feels more like an application than a cumbersome Website where you have to click through multiple pages to find what you want. Google could take a lesson in interface design from Surf Canyon here with all of its Ajax goodness.
