SearchYourCloud is a finalist in the Search Innovation Category which recognizes innovation in the development or use of a search campaign or software tool / platform. SearchYourCloud provides a single search capability from virtually any device for information stored in the cloud, including Dropbox, Google Drive, Box and Sky Drive among others.

SearchYourCloud does not create a direct network connection between a mobile device and the host computer/network, and holds no file contents. Rather, data is synchronized to the cloud provider where it is fully encrypted to AES 256 and can be securely accessed from a tablet, smartphone or Windows PC. It also provides the ability to automatically delete 'off-line' files from a mobile device after a pre-set time.  This keeps user details and sensitive content from being cached on the device.

The winners of inaugural awards, which feature 22 categories and a Grand Prix prize for the best of the best, will be announced on Wednesday, October 23 at Treasure Island in Las Vegas.

Key Facts

• Fast and Accurate Search. SearchYourCloud provides fast, inclusive and accurate search results by using a unique method to create and query a secure full-text index without ever storing the file or its contents in the index.
• Full-text Search within Documents. SearchYourCloud searches into the content of emails, Word, PowerPoint and other documents not available via public search engines without the security threat of actually opening the index to the cloud.
• Total Privacy in the Cloud. To protect privacy and ensure superior security, SearchYourCloud does not store user email addresses or PINs, and there are no direct URLs exposed for the file, file contents or store, and all stored files are fully encrypted. All of which makes it very safe to use in a cloud environment.
• Versions Always Up to Date. If a document is stored off-line and on a cloud such as Dropbox, the app will notify the user if the version stored is older than the one in the cloud.
• Secure Encryption of User Data. Any files stored on the local device and in your cloud store are encrypted. Encryption is AES 256 as used by the US government.
• Document Formats. SearchYourCloud may be used to search document types stored using Dropbox, Exchange, Office 365 and Microsoft Office formats including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Keynote, and SharePoint -- with other cloud stores coming later in the year.
• Share. Users may privately share a file with others by creating a separate copy of the specified file into a new, isolated store area.

"We are naturally delighted that SearchYourCloud has made the short list in the category for the most innovative product in the US Search Awards 2013, especially given the competition in the form of Kenshoo, Fruition, HSBC and WordStream!

This is a superb achievement as the company was pitted against many other outstanding applications. SearchYourCloud is the only product that has been granted a full patent by the US Patent Office in the last five years and is the only applicant that is capable of full federated search across multiple clouds."
