TWERQ Review
by Allen Stern on November 24th, 2006
TWERQ is a tabbed search engine which has a lot of time-saving features. Built on the Google search engine, it is like Google 2.0.
Some of the time-saving features include:
- Bulk search – search for multiple terms at once and open them in separate tabbed windows
- Forward/backward term search – using the bulk search, you can pull a term from the front or back into each bulk search term
- RSS feed search
- Page place holding – TWERQ remembers where you were so you don't have to start from scratch each time
- Quicktags – these make searching easier
- Firefox plugin – make all of the TWERQ options available as an extension
They have several Flash videos that explain how to best maximize your use of TWERQ:

I think TWERQ is really an all-around great product. My only concern will be with its acceptance rate. People know to go to google.com. How do you get those same people to start to change their thinking and come to TWERQ instead. I think the videos can help gain acceptance as they put them on YouTube as well.







Pretty nice, and they seem to also use Yahoo!’s API to do searches.
Have you managed to get an insight on all the different services offered along? Like the banking thing, and Shortlists, QuickTags(Depot) and so on? I found this a bit confusing…
