2) USEFUL and Interesting Demos from Vivisimo
Many of you probably already know about Vivisimo being one of the most useful meta search tool available. Its clustering algorithm, efficient advanced interface, and a strong list of general web databases make it my choice when I want to conduct a meta search. Also, it's page "preview" option makes moving from result to result without having to leave the results page a breeze. What goes unnoticed by many searchers is that Vivisimo's clustering technology is also when doing basic searcher of several other databases. Here's a list of a few of them. In most cases the clustering is based on the first 200 results. * PUBMED * FirstGov * Scirus * EBay
Vivisimo also offers a BioMed Cluster search that brings together results from PubMed, Harrison's Online, MerckManual, TRIPDatabase, and Google. See Also: More Vivisimo Demos
