Stumpedia is a human powered search engine which enables registered users to submit sites along with matching keywords and phrases. The relevancy of search results are then ranked and rated by the volunteer community through the ability to vote submitted links up or down. The result is a healthy and vibrant online community where the content is excellent and the results are exceptionally relevant.

There are multiple reasons to recommend Stumpedia to new users, but perhaps the most important one is the quality of the search results. Unlike traditional search engines that rely on bots, spiders and  algorithms to determine the value of a particular website, Stumpedia allows actual people to read and rank web sites in order to determine their true value.
