To Maplesoft,

Please consider changing the name from Maple to something else.

It is almost impossible to search for anything related to maple, since google keeps giving results about trees called Maple in Canada and about some maple syrup products which I have no interest in at all.

One has to go through pages and pages of links looking for a real Maple software hit.

I know the name Maple has been around for long time, but a new unique name will make searching easier and people will get used to the new name very quickly (may be in 1-2 years).

Some examples:

 

I know when Maple was created almost 40 years ago, the inernet itself was not even here (I forgot when VP. Gore created the internet but I think that was in early 90's), and search was not thought about then.

But these days, the ability to search for something and to easily find it is very important for companies and having a unique name for Maple will make it also much more popular and easier to find things about it instead of finding  information about Maple syrup and Maple trees all the time.
