Features Of iconXs
IconXs has numerous features which separate it from other search engines. Listed here are several of those features.
The IconXs Patent. IconXs has a patent pending application filed with the US and Canadian Intellectual Property Offices. The IconXs patent, about the 750th search engine patent filed, is one of a couple that relate to bringing back images in a search result. That is the basis of the IconXs patent, bringing back a company logo as part of the search to help facilitate the speed and visual enhancement of your search. The patent is one of a family that includes all forms of Internet usages, such as wireless, mobile, digital and others. The patent was filed in 2006.
A Visual Search Engine. 
IconXs is very visual, just like your computers desktop. If you use your computers desktop, you already have been trained on the basics of IconXs. Logos and a few words! Using icons, logos and images, IconXs is able to enhance a person’s search experience in many ways. Clearly IconXs is not just text, hyperlinks and writing. The visual aspect of IconXs makes it more enjoyable, colorful and fun to search. Finding the results you were looking for is often much quicker with IconXs. Once you see the logo of what you were looking for it usually jumps off the page at you. IconXs gets away from having to read the entire page looking for a link, which most of the time looks all the same in search results. Companies spend a lot of money ensuring you recognize their logos when you see them and IconXs shows you the logo first in a search, so you can spot them, click the logo and be right into the site you were searching for.
Logos and images have become a big part of our society. If you pay close attention everywhere you travel or go in a day you may be surprised how many company logos you see on your day to day travels. Highways, subways, buses, television, sporting events, newspapers and so on are full of logos that are meant to grab your attention.
X Marks a Companies Spot. The very words IconXs comes from the word “icons” with an “X” that is placed within the word, marking a companies spot. Unlike search engines where most companies are lost, never to be found, IconXs marks every company with an X, marking their location amongst their competition. So unlike most search engines that rely on a users ‘search word string’ that determines if your company shows up in the results on page 1, page 450,000 or if you are even found at all. IconXs will guarantee each company is found where they do business, nationally, State-wide (provincially) or locally, placed right amongst your competitors where you can always be found.
Intelligent Navigation. IconXs makes it very easy to navigate through our site and find what you are looking for. If something happens in a town and you want their local news, click, click, click, there it is. No guessing at a search string, reading links and wasting time searching. You can go from Orlando, Florida, Attractions to Cincinnati, Ohio News in just a few logical steps. You could also substitute in any town or city and any category you are looking for in the previous sentence and find exactly what you are looking for in those locations in well under a minute or two.
Hand, Personalized Tagging. Unlike major search engines that send little robots into sites and index pages, reading all that information on the Internet, billions and billions of pages and then try to somehow make sense of it all, IconXs takes a much more simple approach. Instead of getting buried and bogged down with information that is useless and has no business showing up in the search you are looking for, IconXs “Tags” every logo with the pertinent key search words for that logo. If you search for something in Las Vegas, Nevada, you will never get anything from Las Vegas, New Mexico. It is impressive to get 20 million search results, but it is more practical to find what you are looking for even with fewer results.
Local Search. It has been written that about 1 in 3 searches on the Internet are for local material. This opportunity with IconXs involves exactly this point. IconXs is making it easy, in a very intelligent way, to find local content. IconXs is looking for Independent Sales Representatives (ISRs), thousands of them, to build out each town and city and at the same time, make a decent living for doing so. How can IconXs understand each and every small town or big city in the world? We aren’t going to try and fool anyone, we can’t do it alone it would be IMPOSSIBLE! The key word there was ALONE! By having local ISRs who live in these locations IconXs can work with these people and built out each area as they exist. All the local kids associations, charities, business, big and small may now have presence in each town and cities local search engine, in IconXs. Locally placed ISRs can find the little local business, that has one employee and give them a big presence. ISRs can search out every local sales person and give them a presence on the Internet that is easily found through IconXs. How else in this world is a little used local car sales person from Las Vegas, New Mexico going to have his name, phone number, email and picture found so easily by locals, or even easier still by someone living 2,000 miles away that for some reason is looking for exactly this product or service. This is IconXs. It only makes logical sense to have a local person, who lives there, is known there, works there, and already understands the local area, people, and business, to build out that area for IconXs.
Child Friendly. The fact that IconXs adds each site that appears in our search engine means IconXs has approved this site for useful information, including safe, clean content. IconXs does not add sites that do not have useful, relevant content. Parents have the peace of mind knowing their children are safe in our site when searching. No logo will ever lead to explicit content. If after a site has been added to IconXs, content changes within that site, IconXs will immediately remove this site from IconXs. IconXs is a great search engine to promote in the schools and within the educational system. On top of all this, children love IconXs. Children are very visual and have really taken a liking to IconXs. Test for yourself how easily children start to maneuver around within our site. The next generation will grow up using IconXs.
Rotating Images. IconXs has designed a system that allows for many companies to be found by leading a category. These are called Rotating Links. There are so many combinations of potential different views to each page that just our home page alone has over 931,322,574,615,478,515,625 different logo combinations that can appear at any time (also reminds us of how many search results we get back in some search engines). In fact, that is such a large number no two people may ever see the exact same looking home page.
A Great Homepage. IconXs makes for a great homepage for our users. What do you want to do? Why go to your favorites to find what you are looking for when thousands of the top sites in the world are always a click or two away? IconXs is a great starting point. Also if you ever buy a new computer and have to start your favorites all over or have a virus that wipes out your hard drive and you lose all your favorites, think of IconXs. It is a great place to start getting your favorite sites in a hurry.
