I just saw a new search engine that’s in beta. Preview Seek
It uses AI to organize the results. Kinda neat. I like.
Try it with something like “unicycle jousting” or whatever your favorite search is.
Sounds cool… will have to play with it more later, but I have seen other search clustering or similar searches before in a search engine. Forget off hand what site that was.
One problem with somethign like this is that it is too complex for the average user.
I like the mp3 search dealy. Looks cool.
I hope that Google buys it out if they don’t already own it.
That’s Grokker
Interesting in a non-practical sort of way. It’s a solution in search of the right problem. Web search doesn’t look like the right problem for that particular solution.
Slightly off-topic, but this cartoon comes to mind whenever I see a “cool new technology” on the Internet:
I love the video and mp3 search features. Try searching for “unicycling” videos, I’m quite impressed. The mp3 search seems to mostly give you 30 second long smaples of songs, which will work well to preview artists’ stuff before buying, although I think www.allmusic.com is even better for that.
Thanks for the heads up John.

Edit - The image search doesn’t seem to let you choose a minimum size/quality like Google. They’re going to have to work on that, I think.
Check out Clusty the Clustering Engine
It’s another search site that I just found out about and it’s similar to Preview Seek. Very neat. Preview Seek seems to have a little more smarts but Clusty is very close. I like how Clusty includes a special search on Wikipedia.
I do like the clustering and organizing that both Preview Seek and Clusty do.
Huh? The dot com era ended? Why wasn’t I told? Oh well… I guess I’m trying to take part in dot com era part 2. Who wants a free service… come on, who wants it? Meanwhile, I’ll respond to the emails titled “How much does this cost” amoung others.
