Alternate Ways to Search The Web

Traditional search engines are numerous and for a complete list visit the link at searchenginewatch.

Newer ways to search the web include clustering results and adding vital information to the search results.

I find the following three the most interesting:

1. Mooter

The retrieved results are filtered and grouped into visually arranged semantic clusters according to their context. I think its a great way to learn about any topic, viz here, Sigur Ros, a band out Of Iceland.

2.Clusty

Similar to mooter, it offers multiple search options like web, news, images, shopping, wikipedia, and my favorite-blogs.

But thats not it, it even lets you customize what you want to search for. And the results are always clustered. A great way to search and the way to the future.

3. Mozbot

Extracts results only in English from google, but adds information like definition, related words, search statistics, page thumbnails etc. Very handy, especially with the SEM community. Find out all the additions on the mozbot website.

Or search from 10Hz.







in your languages
in english

And for the way things are goings well, we probably will go from horizontal search(anything and everything) to vertical search(more specific) with local search becoming a part of our lives.

What do u think?
