How ConsumerSearch Got Started
The seeds of ConsumerSearch were planted in 1991 when the company's founder was researching the purchase of a desktop publishing system for a new business. At the time, it was impossible to make an intelligent purchase decision without having to stitch together reviews of the products from three different computer magazines, a task that was both overwhelming and time consuming. ConsumerSearch was created to solve that dilemma, satisfying the need for a resource that could quickly and reliably tie together the reviews of these publications.
Current Ownership
In May 2007, ConsumerSearch was acquired by About.com, a part of The New York Times Company.
