Clusty
is a metasearch engine developed by
Vivisimo and built on unique Web search technology developed by Carnegie
Mellon University researchers. It presents results in clusters, a group of
similar topics that are related to the original query, giving users a quick
overview of the main themes in the results. Students will also benefit
by looking at the clusters, sources and the sites |
Kartoo is a metasearch engine that displays
the results in a colorful, graphic format. By running your cursor over
the individual graphic, a small thumbnail of the page with brief description
appears in the left column. A listing of "see also" topics are also
found in the same column. The sponsored results ae marked with a green dot.

Pagebull returns thumbnails of the websites
that match your query, helping you find a certain page easier. Every
screenshot highlights the keywords entered by the users and can be
configures to multiple sizes.

Quintura clusters related
search terms to the initial query and presents those terms as a tag cloud.
Users can refine their searches by clicking on any word in the cloud words
that are closer and bigger than other words are more correlated to the
initial query than other terms. Mousing over any word in the cloud
shows related terms as well. Like Clusty, Quintura is useful for
reserach or browsing-based searching to find more information on a give
topic.
