Search.searchmpct.com is a custom search portal that is associated with the ConvertThatPDF (also seen as ConvertPDFs) browser add-on by Polarity Technologies Ltd., which you may know for riskware such as GetFitNow New Tab and BookmyFlight. The ConvertThatPDF add-on is supposed to allow users to convert PDF files into other document types easily. The functionality of the ConvertThatPDF add-on depends on integration with the browser and Search.searchmpct.com. If you manage a large collection of PDF files and wish to convert some of your documents to other formats you may be interested in using ConvertThatPDF and Search.searchmpct.com. However, you should read the terms of use of ConvertThatPDF carefully because there are a few key aspects of ConvertThatPDF to consider. Users that do not wish to bother reading on legal.config.searchmpct.com/legal/terms may want to read the following exert regarding what to expect:
'Change of the default search engine in your Internet Browser, including your Browser's built-in search box, if applicable, and address bar;
2. Change of the default home page and/or new tabs of your Internet Browser;

The company behind ConvertThatPDF makes money from Web surfers that use Search.searchmpct.com for their activities and does not provide services on its own. Even the search engine on Search.searchmpct.com is a custom build of Yahoo and users are redirected to Search.yahoo.com after they enter a keyword and click the magnifying glass icon. PC users that deem the ConvertThatPDF add-on as unwanted may be willing to use help from a reliable anti-spyware instrument to erase the add-on and tracking cookies from partners to Polarity Technologies Ltd.
