Press Release • Jan 21, 2016
RepUPress.com has launched a new Social Media Search Engine that will help individuals navigate the vast realm of social networks more easily, help businesses better measure their marketing efforts and help students accomplish more effective and efficient research.

Indianapolis, IN, January 21, 2016 (Newswire.com) - RepUPress.com, an Indianapolis based tech company, has launched a new Social Media Search Engine in cooperation with search giant Google (http://www.repupress.com/social-search).  The free search engine allows visitors to quickly access results from all major social media networks in an aggregated view, as well as, search each individual network by simply clicking a tab at the top of the results.  The results can also be further customized by either popularity (relevance) or by date.

When asked about the benefit to users, Founder Rob Gelhausen had this to say, “We believe the application for a dedicated Social Media Search Engine is abundant.  Individuals can more easily find what they are looking for within and across their favorite networks, companies can gauge their marketing impact, and students can do more effective, as well as efficient research.  These are just a few of the current benefits and uses.”

According to a report published by the Pew Research Center 52% of adults have at least 2 social media accounts across various networks.  That means as many as 1.26 million US citizens over the age of 18 visit multiple social media networks to search and post content.  The idea of a way to search from a single source is an intriguing and time saving proposition.

The Social Media Search Engine was built on top of and with the cooperation of Google’s Web Index.  With the recent deal between Twitter and Google to allow access and indexing of all 200 billion plus Tweets being generated every year, the incredible categorization of the vast amount of Facebook content, the fact that YouTube is owned by Google, as well as, many additional strategic reasons, Founder Rob Gelhausen said “It was a no brainer using Google’s index to power our search.”

Rep U Press is a digital media company that offers an array of solutions which include SaaS Applications, Marketing Services and even eLearning Video Tutorials Courses.  Their latest endeavor is sure to make waves.  The web search industry is dominated by three major players who are Google, Yahoo and Bing.  Google currently controls approximately 65% of the search share in the US with Bing and Yahoo combing for approximately 24%.  All other search engines make up the remaining 11%.

Harking back to the days of Mark Cuban selling Broadcast.com to Yahoo for 5.7 Billion Dollars leaving the door open for Google to crush them in search, it seems as though Yahoo has always been one step behind in the race for online user search acquisition.  It is amazing that there has not already been some sort of play like this by either of the two second tier search options.  Will the Rep U Press solution take even more of the market share?  Well, that remains to be seen.
