Summary
Search engines have a lot of power in the online world, a function of determining which information and web pages show up in a search. Much of this is done without oversight, as these search engines don't always explain their page ranking systems, can subtly manipulate your search terms, and may even set aside space on the search results page to promote their own products. Presearch allows it users to search directly within a website's database, and go directly to search results. It also allows users to customize their own settings, such as preferential rankings for local businesses over big-box stores, and allows the community to vote on rankings and fund development projects for the benefit of the platform.
