| 2012 || || Launch || Search as a service || Site search tool [[wikipedia:Swiftype|Swiftype]] is launched by former [[wikipedia:Scribd|Scribd]] employees Matt Riley and Quin Hoxie. The founders claim that the service is better than Google Site Search because, rather than simply restricting Google results to a specific site, it builds a "PageRank"-like model that is specific to the site, and also allows publishers control through mechanisms like pinning and unpinning.<ref>{{cite web|url = https://techcrunch.com/2012/05/08/swiftype-launch/|title = Y Combinator-Backed Swiftype Builds Site Search That Doesn’t Suck|last = Ha|first = Anthony|date = May 8, 2012|accessdate = May 28, 2017|publisher = ''[[wikipedia:TechCrunch|TechCrunch]]''}}</ref>
