Search.Vivisimo.com - Cluster Search

Move over Google, Vivisimo is the new way to search. Instead of getting piles and piles of hard-to-manage and impertinent results, three Carnegie Mellon scientists created Vivisimo as a simple alternative search engine. Vivisimo is not bogged down by information overload. It actually organizes your search results for you with the cluster feature. So search ‘Britney’ and the top 218 pages will pop first (all covering Ms. Spears, of course), on the left hand side, however, you can choose from a number of categories to help narrow your search. The cluster categories are relevant to the search topic. ‘Britney’ brings up categories like, gossip, entertainment, music videos, pictures etc. Search, let’s say, ‘earthworm’ and categories like soil, worm, dissection, and pictures appear. With Clusty, the consumer search engine, you can also narrow the search from the get-go by choosing from news, images, wikipedia, blogs, jobs etc. It’s similar to Google, but with more choices. Vivisimo is metasearch at its best.

 
  In their own words  

“Vivísimo was originally founded in 2000 by three Carnegie Mellon University scientists who decided to tackle the problem of information overload in web searches by developing new technology to organize unwieldy search results in a completely innovative way. They used a mathematical algorithm and deep linguistic knowledge to find relationships between search terms and bring them to light. Over the years, the company has built upon the original technology of document clustering with the same guiding principle of using technology to help users conquer information overload and harness the true power of search.”
