Nigel Hamilton

Nigel Hamilton is the CEO and mastermind behind Trexy.com's innovative search technology. He has been actively involved in the search engine industry for seven years and has a keen interest in social search technologies. He initially developed Turbo10.com's 'Deep Net' metasearch technology for connecting to search engines in the 'invisible web' or Deep Net.
In 2003 he presented an outline of this technology at the 12th World Wide Web Conference entitled, 'The Mechanics of a Deep Net Metasearch Engine'.
Based on this Deep Net technology Nigel invented a way of sharing 'search trails'. His invention is described in the international patent application: 'Method and system for recording search trails across one or more search engines in a communications network'.
