The Become.com Research Service

 

The Become.com research service is great for helping you locate valuable (and often hard to find) shopping-related research: buying guides, expert reviews, consumer reviews, articles, specifications, forums, merchants, and a variety of other relevant information.

Unlike general purpose search engines, Become.com avoids providing you with search results composed of information unrelated to shopping.  You get directed to research-related information that helps you best determine what to buy.

The Become.com Comparison Shopping Service

Once you've figured out what you want, one click takes you to our comparison shopping service, which you can use to find the online store offering the best price on the item you're looking for. You can sort by price, narrow your search by different criteria, and add items to the innovative "My Favorites," a tool which allows you to create and save a list of products for easy reference or comparison.

Dynamic Suggestions

When you arrive at Become.com, you may notice search suggestions on the main page; these are searches that other Become users have performed. Once you begin typing, the suggestions will dynamically update to propose useful search terms that you might want to try based on what you have typed. You can click on a suggestion to try that search on Become. These suggestions are not based on past searches, but rather on our technology's understanding of shopping-related content available on the web. Similar suggestions appear at the bottom of each results page.

News Search

Become.com's News Search technology scours hundreds of top US news sources and uses sophisticated techniques to identify news of interest to shoppers. News sources are scanned automatically every 10 minutes to provide you with recent information such as new product announcements, price reductions, and product recalls.

Links to relevant news articles are displayed at the top of the results page in response to a search conducted on Become.com. Links to news articles are displayed only when news articles relevant to the search are available.

Shopping-Focused Spell Check

Become.com has developed a spell check service specifically for shoppers. Everything from the dictionary to the computer algorithms is designed for superior performance on shopping-related searches. Such searches frequently contain brand names, model numbers and other terms missing from most dictionaries. If you do a search for which the spellchecker has a suggestion, it will appear in red at the top of the results page.
