The challenge of getting relevant search results has kept the Internet industry busy for many years. Many solutions such as extensions created for filtering results have struggled to efficiently sift through tons of unwanted or irrelevant results trying to save the user's time while searching for the desired links. Now, for the first time, the Woolik Search Tool Extension for Google, which combines the web sites' logo with the links in the search results, gives users an overall improved browsing experience, quicker scanning of the search results and faster identifying of relevant sites.  The Woolik Search Tool Extension for Google makes the search a better, faster and clearer experience, and can be easily downloaded and integrated with the user's browser of choice. Tools for other search engines will be launched in the coming months.

Woolik's Search Tool Extension for Google automatically flags the top sites within the search results and marks them with a green circle alongside the logos, making sure you can easily recognize relevant and valid search results. Woolik's Search Tool Extension for Google includes a comprehensive database with more than 15,000 web site logos, among which are the top 1000 most popular sites in 17 countries (based on the Alexa Ranking Tool), as well as many more.  Supported countries include the US, UK, Australia, Canada, Spain, Germany, Russia, France, Argentina, Mexico, Chile, Turkey, China. The logos, which are displayed next to the search results, are not screenshots, hard to recognize favicons or thumbnail pictures, but rather the actual official logos of the web sites.

In recent years, the market has shifted its attention to web applications and extensions for browsers, with App stores emerging for web applications. According to Mozilla, to date, a staggering 2.5 billion add-on downloads were made on Firefox alone! Google Chrome is also drawing much attention with its Web App Store.

"Our 'Make Your Web' concept is entirely focused on user experience. To this end, our vision is to become a leading developer of extension tools that improve the Internet browsing experience," said Ido Sher Sever, CEO of Woolik. "The Woolik Search Tool Extension for Google enables brands to be in the limelight of the users' Web searches, further strengthening their brand recognition and presence. We are confident that the Woolik Search Tool Extension for Google and the extensions we will be launching in the near future will significantly upgrade and personalize the browsing experience on the Web."

The Woolik Search Tool Extension for Google is available for download and immediate use at www.woolik.com. You'll receive automatic updates when we push out new versions.
