Company description
"Search the best of the web in a click-free search"
The internet has grown more and more complex and more than often a search for something leads us to not only search the major engines of the web, but also the other major online destinations that hold our video information, image information, shopping information, news and much more.
We believe some search goals require a more multi-dimensional approach to finding deep information that we usually end up hunting for or just never think of looking for in the first place. LeapFish searches everywhere and conveniently surprises you with relevant information that touches upon all angles of a great search in this day and age.
We've created the first multi-dimensional information aggregator and search portal in the world. Our goal is to gather, organize and render the most relevant information from the internet's most valuable destinations for each users search, in one single simple shot. Catch a useful video when you weren't looking for one, see the latest news and blogs on a topic you're searching for, or find a variety of deals on a gadget you need and more when you use LeapFish.
