Search.rapidserach.com is a generic site that may appear as a search provider with links to popular services like Facebook, IMDB, Netflix, Instagram and YouTube, and include widgets related to shopping, news and media streaming. Search.rapidserach.com is owned by Stepitapp LTD., which operates a platform that enables advertisers and software developers to monetize their work. Search.rapidserach.com is associated with a browser extension that may be distributed to users via software bundles. The extension linked to Search.rapidserach.com may feature the name RapidSearch and claim to enhance your online experience.
