Surf Canyon, creator of a browser add-on that helps you find more relevant results in a Google, Yahoo or MSN search, has raised a $600,000 seed round from angel investors, according to TechCrunch.
I wrote about Surf Canyon in February, when the company launched its Firefox and Internet Explorer add-on. Once you’ve installed it, a bullseye appears next to each of your search results, and if you click on the bullseye similar results will appear. Chief executive Mark Cramer told me Surf Canyon’s results are more relevant than Google’s “similar pages” function, because they’re not just based on links.
The company first launched in 2006 as a standalone website, but decided to change direction and offer a browser extension instead.
