SearchReviews takes product reviews from all over the webs and makes them searchable through one website. The application hopes to become the internet’s largest source for reviews. Visitors the Search Reviews homepage can enter their criteria in the box provided. Users can search using a brand name, product type or general description of an item they are looking for. Search Reviews provides the user with a list of matching reviews. The user can also narrow down their option by star rating, source, location or product name. A small group of relevant tags are presented at the bottom of the search results page to give the user more options that might help them find the reviews they need. Each review result includes a short snippet, title, product name and an image if one is available.

Although search engines will return reviews among their results, Search Reviews gives the user nothing but reviews so they do not have to page through other types of content.

I signed up with SearchReviews.com and its been nothing but good for me. I Immediately saw an increase in the user engagement on my site, and the time users spent on my site increased.

After I signed on with SearchReviews.com as a publisher and installed their product reviews search widget all over my blogs and websites I was unable to contact them. Their support email address is bogus. It rejects your email. Their FAQ page cannot be found when you click on it. Their internal contact form seems like it works but they will not get back to you. When you reply to their welcome email, they do not respond. I really doubt if I'll see a penny of income with SearchReviews if I can't add sites to my profile. There is no login page. Don't waste your time with SearchReviews. Something is very "phishy" here.
