Awesome, but man, that name really needs some work. It sounds like I'm asking a two-year-old whether he's been on the potty.

I agree—naming is deeply underrated, and it's not at all too late! Just choose something abstract and appealing, or a simple noun without any weird associations.
"Just choose something"

Did you see that South Park episode where they try to pick a name for their startup but all names are taken? It's very, very funny.

So yeah, I want the perfect name for this. What _is_ the perfect name?

What about "unheavy search" ? Synonym for light, but very uncommon as far as I can tell. It's not beautiful or elegant, but it's also not confusing and making me think of gogo dancers. Best I could come up with in 5 minutes.
Weird name almost seems to be a requirement for a sucessful web search engine (yahoo, google and duckduckgo etc)
Drop the 'did'? Much cleaner.

And maybe also the 'you'?

Maybe rearrange the letters in gogo and add le to the end also?
legogo has a nice memey feeling to it though
Seems appropriate for most Internet content.
