A Closer Look at Bazibaza Search Results…
The number of search results and the actually search results displayed are not the same. Are there results missing or this is an error?
Sometimes you may think that the number of results displayed in the upper right hand corner of the search engine web page is incorrect. But this figure is correct however you must click on the “All results for this search” for all the results to appear. By clicking on this link, which will appear something like this >> All results for this search on http://www.instockfasteners.com, you will be able to see all URLs for that company.
What are the benefits to having hyper links such as “ALL RESULTS FOR SEARCH”?
This option provides users with a link to a page of results solely dedicated to that company. All these results come directly from the company’s official web page.This option allows users to see a clear, short list of links directly from the company they are looking for (without the presence of any other company’s site).
What does “filter results awaiting company verification” mean?
This appears on the search results page below the link. “Filter results awaiting company verification” means that the results you are seeing have been categorised and filters are in place but we are currently waiting for this company to verify whether or not they are pleased with the positioning of their website on our search engine.
By allowing for company verification, this allows the company the opportunity to decide if they want their company to appear in categories and which ones. Or if the company would rather not appear in any categories and remained unfiltered in the bazibaza search engine.
Why are there yellow highlighted words?
On the results page there are yellow highlighted, these are the keywords you entered into the Bazibaza Search Engine. These words are highlighted to show that the results of this page are in accordance with search specifications.

How many categories can I “Tag”?
One option from each category and all category can be tagged. The more categories selected, the narrower the search.
How do I “detag” an option?
Once something is tagged a red “X” appears beside the tagged item. To detag simply click the red “X”, you can then tag another word if you wish or leave your search untagged and therefore unfiltered.
Can I “Detag” just one filter or must you detag all filters and start your search specifications all over again?
You can detag one word at a time without having to restart your search or changing any of your other tags in other categories.
How do I modify my search specifications?
You can modify your search results by “tagging” or “detagging” and your results will automatically change in accordance with the changes you make to your search needs.
