Something New To Try
A General Web Search Engine: Query-Sensitive Searching With WISEnut
So, you want another general web search tool to try and make use of? WISEnut maybe worth some of your attention.
A Very Quick Overview
--The WISEnut spider creates the WISEnut database.
They do not purchase a database from a third party
--No Boolean, + and � signs can be used
--Searches 25 Languages
--Common Stopwords Searchable with A + in front of the term(s)
--Provides an �adult� content filter, �WISEwatch�
--Site clustering, number of results presented,
languages searched can be set by user

--Currency: I found several pages that were about 3 weeks old
--Results Ranking, what they claim, �The patent-pending WISErank relevancy ranking system is a revolutionary spam-proof way of using traditional text analysis and the structure of the Web to evaluate and rank pages. Its context-sensitive link analysis not only measures the relative importance of a given page, but also determines the relative relevancy of that page for a given query. In order to implement this complex and comprehensive measure of relevancy, WISEnut has developed ways to compute ranking algorithms significantly faster than the competition."
--WISEguide: At the top of a results page WISEguide clusters similar results into �query-related� categories.
WISEnut was founded by one of the co-founders of MySimon, Yeogirl Yun.
