Searchers launched an advertising campaign on the UK terrestrial channel Channel 4 throughout 2006 and targeted potential web users. A follow-up advertising campaign was broadcast on Channel 4 in 2009.
In October 2010, Searchers parent company Reach Global featured on the BBC website and BBC Radio Lancashire as a local company thriving during a time of hefty public sector cuts.
Searchers' potential was discussed in a parliamentary adjournment debate (as Reach Global, its parent company) on 26 January 2011.
The debate, entitled UK Internet Search Engines, was raised by Hyndburn MP Graham Jones and attended by Culture Minister Edward Vaizey. It achieved moderate coverage across a range of print and online news sources, including the Accrington Observer, Tech Watch and The Register.
A related adjournment debate was scheduled on 5 April 2011 by Esher and Walton MP Dominic Raab, entitled Net Neutrality, during which Edward Vaizey confirmed his intention to visit Reach Global and its search engine.

Famous quotes containing the word responses:
“The fantasies inspired by TB in the last century, by cancer now, are responses to a disease thought to be intractable and capricious—that is, a disease not understood—in an era in which medicine’s central premise is that all diseases can be cured.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“Apathy is one of the characteristic responses of any living organism when it is subjected to stimuli too intense or too complicated to cope with. The cure for apathy is comprehension.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“Research shows clearly that parents who have modeled nurturant, reassuring responses to infants’ fears and distress by soothing words and stroking gentleness have toddlers who already can stroke a crying child’s hair. Toddlers whose special adults model kindliness will even pick up a cookie dropped from a peer’s high chair and return it to the crying peer rather than eat it themselves!”
—Alice Sterling Honig (20th century)
