Glam Search is a search engine aimed at delivering content from Glam’s Network of lifestyle, celebrity and fashion sites, as well as its flagship site, Glam.com. Glam Search utilizes intelligent search, filtering and indexing technology to bring users comprehensive, relevant and timely results in a format not available from general search engines.

In addition to classic search and indexing technologies, Glam Search uses a ”curated rank” algorithm, which assigns a weighting to a page based on relevance, timeliness and an editorial analysis of the content source. This gives Glam Search results a higher contextual relevance to the item being searched.

To achieve this curated rank, Glam Search focuses on indexing best-of-breed websites that have been editorially curated to be part of Glam’s Network of 360+ popular blogs, sites and magazines in fashion, beauty and lifestyle, including: Dwell; Fashiontribes; Kaboodle; Miss Meghan; Makeover Solutions; Nylon; Refinery 29; Shefinds, Quality Health and Wedding Solutions. “Glam Media is about bringing together the most relevant voices and indie publishers in fashion, celebrity style and lifestyle entertainment,” said Samir Arora, Glam Media’s Chairman and CEO.

Pinkgle is a search engine that gives Google results, and also breast cancer related results. It’s also editable, so if you know of great sites about various facets of breast cancer, you can submit them so they’ll rank higher.

I’m Amy, welcome to Pinkle my little oasis of pinkness in an otherwise dull world. Why Pinkle? I love pink. I have pink shoes, pink clothes and pink wallpaper but Google was still boring white. So I created Pinkle, same great Google search results but more cute pink!

Of course, for us guys, there’s always The Blue Search Engine! Searching your blues away…
