Every distant is dilated & magnified like the pores of the face.

It’s like any other search engines (it’s powered by Yahoo!), but every time you search, you can donate money to a charity of your choice! I always told myself “o, I’ll donate to x charity once I have enough money” but that day never comes 0_o So, this is so simple & yet you know you’re doing something good for a cause that you want to help. Too bad it only works for participating non-profits in the US. I hope someday that they’ll expand to other countries. Ooo .. you can also shop online from participating online stores & GoodSearch will donate a percentage of the purchase price to a charity of your choice :-D GoodSearch: You Search...We Give!
