  • Search more efficiently with Favitt custom searches

    You probably have a few trusted websites you go to for information. Rather than hop from Google to Wikipedia to CNN to find what you’re looking for, though, Favitt lets you search up to six search engines simultaneously from one central location.

    You can set your six favorite search engines inside handy tabs located at the top of the search bar, letting you switch easily from one to the other. That way, if you’re wondering if maybe Bing has more useful results than Google, just click their respective tabs to toggle back and forth.

    Customization is what Favitt is all about — in addition to specifying which sites to search, you can upload your favorite picture, move the search bar around on the page, and even replace the Favitt logo with something else and link it to whatever you want.

    Don’t think you can only use search engines, either. Search any site you like, so if you want to be able to search a great site like, say, Instructify, just add it to your Favitt page.
