JumpGauge Search Engine: Green Made Visual
Searching for green products can be a daunting task along with learning all the aspects involved into making them green. With many companies out there claiming that their products are “environmentally friendly” or “green”, it makes it hard to determine if a product is actually as it says. It can also be extremely difficult to find products that meets specific green requirements. I stumbled upon a cool searching technology called JumpGauge that can make searching for green products a whole lot easier and save you tons of time.
JumpGauge
Jump to Green is the mastermind behind this unique technology that was started in 2008. The goal of this company was to make a technology that could make learning about all aspects surrounding a green product much easier. To accomplish this, they developed a visualization technology called JumpGauge to make it easy to search for eco-friendly products. They believe that visualizations are far more effective that complicated search parameters that could leave you confused.
Jump to Green are one of the first companies to develop a search engines to be using visualization did a great job with it. Let’s go a little further into how this search engine works.
Just as with any other search engine, you can type a normal search query in it and does a great job at returning green products that match that query. The real unique part about this tool is that it uses small visualizations to add parameters to your search. Let’s say for example you want to buy a green toy. In terms of green, we want to make sure that the the toy is made in America and sustainable materials are used to make the toys.
As you can see from the picture, it’s simple to do that search with JumpGauge. All you have to do is click the two icons corresponding made in America and sustainable and type in toys. Each icon does a good job in describing the green concept it corresponds to. If the pictures are not clear enough for you, you can just hover over them to find out exactly what term that are related to.
Each result is returned with the picture of the product along with why the product as green. As I said above, it does a good job in returning results corresponding to what you searched for and showing the ones that match the green terms you selected at the top.
JumpGauge has done a great job and has become one of the top search engines for green products in just a year. Check out this great search engine and see if you can quickly and easily find a green product you are looking for.
