Football search engine hits the net

Football fans can find the latest soccer news and websites with the launch of a new search engine dedicated to the beautiful game.

Megasoccer Search, which claims to be the world's first search engine devoted to football, has an index of over 6,000 soccer websites.

The engine only searches footy content that has been reviewed to provide users with “the most relevant, up-to-date results for all queries”. Using the Advanced Search page, you can set strict rules on language, search terms and the numbers of results.

Mike Flynn, chief executive of Fast Web Media (the company behind the engine), said: "The technology which has been applied to Megasoccer Search enables users to get the information they want on soccer without trawling through pages of unrelated sites, setting Megasoccer Search apart from other generic search engines."

Megasoccer Search has tied up a partnership deal with Premier League site 4thegame.com and search boxes and buttons will also be distributed to other global soccer sites.
