Mirago plc, based in Alton, Hampshire, is a European provider of search and media related software.
Mirago started its life as a Research and Development project within Software Development house Compsoft plc, assessing indexing technologies. In 2000 Mirago was established in its own right launching its internet search engine and online advertising tools.
Mirago’s search division provides search engine results for 11 European countries (UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Denmark, Switzerland, Sweden, Norway, Netherlands, and Belgium) as well as regional search, geo-targeted and organic indexing products.
Mirago's success was recognised with listing in The Sunday Times Microsoft Tech Track 100 as Britain's 11th fastest-growing private tech company in 2005 and featured again in 2006, one of only a handful of companies to achieve this feat. In the same year, Mirago ceased work on its search engine, which remained online for 18 months without updates before complete withdrawal and the re-location of its pay-per-click advertising to third-party sites that included minor search engines and some newspaper sites.
