Searchgosearch.com is a search engine that appears to be a clone of Findgofind.com. Both of these search engines are not popular at all, and most of their visitors end up there because they use one of these two extensions – SearchGoSearch and FindGoFind. Both of these extensions used to be hosted on the Chrome Store page, but they are now removed. This is likely because their only purpose was to modify the Chrome's settings so that Searchgosearch.com and Findgofind.com would be set as the default new tab page.

Searchgosearch.com appears to function properly, and its search feature does bring out trustworthy search results. However, users who frequent this page might end up also seeing a relatively large number of advertisements, which promote various products, services and pages. While this behavior is certainly not threatening, most users would probably prefer to use a search engine that offers them a relatively ad-free experience.

Don't forget that using Searchgosearch.com or Findgofind.com is not harmful nor would it expose you to any suspicious content. However, if you wish to remove these websites from your Web browser and restore your usual new tab page, then you need to proceed and remove the extensions that brought the unwanted changes. Removing ‘SearchGoSearch' or ‘FindGoFind' from Chrome can be carried out via the settings panel, or by using a credible security software suite.
