The Best Search Engine I have ever seen!
I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm very fed up with the decline in search engine quality over the past few years. I remember back when a google search really returned 1,000,000 results if you were willing to go through them all, spidercrawler return 100's of 1000's of results, etc. I
could find what I wanted and didn't have to sift through moutains of "paid listings" before I found REAL results. Even using Boolean searches doesn't help much with engines nowadays, and recently google has started filtering out very common pages because some of the words "might" refer to hacking... Anyway, I found KartOO today and, although it uses those engines, it is AWESOME and allows one to quicly filter through the trash that is inevitably returned.
Name: KartOO
URL: http://www.kartoo.com/flash.php3?langue=en
DESC: Uses Flash to create a "map" of results from up-to 10
engines. Awesomely, the map seems to be built by
analyzing the occurence of words in the pages content
and linking them together through clickabel keywords to
refine your search. Each site is represented like a "world"
with pages as moons around the world. Links are displayed
by hovering over the words, and can add the word to you
search wtih a single click. Very sweet!
Everyone needs to try this engine!
