SNAP

Kwami Ahiabenu,II
Found a new search experience called SNAP.
According to "snap website
Snap is an Idealab company located in Pasadena, California, home of Cal Tech, the Rose Bowl, and the Doo Dah parade. We're a small group fighting a big battle to deliver a step-function change in the search experience. Together, we have over 70 years of search experience and way more than 100 years of online marketing and e-commerce experience. We're passionate, committed and are confident enough to think we can make a difference."
So what does Snap offer?
The other way to search(TM)
Snap is saying they think Google, Yahoo, MSN and all the rest of the big search players have settled on the wrong search paradigm: text-in, text-out with slight differences in their ranking methods and index sizes.
Snap claims their new search engine offers a very different alternative to the Big Search, Text-In, Text-Out, method.
Some key features of Snap
Fast Visual Display of Results Previews
Actively Anticipating Your Intent
Direct Interactivity with Your Search Results
Better Relevance through Successful Past Searches
Faster Speed

Would be checking them out and see how they are coping the tough world of web search sorry web snaps

Kwami Ahiabenu, Global Centre for FinTech Innovations, Canada abstract  This chapter outlines the risks and challenges involved in implementing central bank digital currency (CBDC).
