Some new shopping search engines are taking aim at the existing big shopping search engines by bucking the trend of featuring paid advertisers. Instead they display the entire panoply of product choices on the web. One of these new companies, TheFind.com, seeks to out-Google us with offerings. We tried searching for one of our Christmas list items, a crossbow, and sure enough the beta version of The Find, found 6591 items in 534 stores (by its own calculations). On page 10 of the search results, the items were still entirely relevant, and you know page 10 of any web search is often floating away like flotsam on a river of tangents. Don’t know much about their technology, but we like the image thumbnails that are so easy to scan. And the pop-up info available for each find. Impressive. (Btw, that crossbow, $600+ at MC Sports, is the real deal, for hunters, not for kids.)

Yeah, I checked the site it looks really really cool to me too. I wanted to buy a treadmill and saw this post and tried my hands at the new site. The results looked great. Take a look for yourselves:

Try it on Pronto… At least they normalize it so you can compare the prices:
