Gimpsy was conceived and created with a very clear vision: To make the search experience on the Internet enjoyable. To that end, Gimpsy was designed to be the purest possible Directory web site: There are no banners, no buttons, no elaborate graphics, no pop-ups and no adverts. It is as clean and as concise as a web site can be - without harming the user-friendly interface. The Gimpsy search method is largely based on Natural Language expressions. Although users are now used to a different method (the keyword-based query), Gimpsy's method is so 'natural' that it is picked up almost immediately.
