So why is there a need for a new search engine? What’s wrong with Google?

Well, of course, Google is a great search engine. But it indexes tens of millions of Web sites. And the vast majority of those are not purchasing and supply management-related.

So doing purchasing and supply management research with Google can lead one to have to sift through tons of irrelevant search results. And who has time for that?

PurchSearch indexes only personally-reviewed, authoratative sites from trade publicatons, educational organizations, and the best blogs. In addition, PurchSearch indexes the best purchasing department Web sites so you can benchmark with organizations such as Home Depot, University of Pennsylvania, and many more.

So the next time you want to look something up, try PurchSearch for a more relevant research experience. And spread the word!

Here’s a quick video to demonstrate the power of PurchSearch.
