Enhancements and Upgrades at Vivisimo

Web Search--Vivisimo
Enhancements and Upgrades at Vivisimo
Word today from the Pittsburgh based "clustering" software company about a few tweaks and enhancements to the very useful "metasearch like" Vivisimo. Saman Haqqi from Vivisimo has shared with ResourceShelf a list of what's new. I'm looking forward to trying these new options out.
---
Result Clusters (Located on the Left Side of Results Page)
* Show in Clusters
* Show in Clusters - This feature lets end users click on a search result and see its context within the hierarchical folders. Showing the context lets users understand how a search result fits within the larger scheme of knowledge relating to the query, and
* Easily find similar search results that are placed within the same folders. This
enables the user to quickly focus on relevant folders only.
--
Viewing Pages (Options located next to each page title)
* Full Window - Results now open in full browser window by
default.
* Frames - This option has many choices now i.e. users
can access Google cache, bookmark the page, as well as comfortably browse through the results.
--
ResourceShelf has also learned that more announcements from the company are coming very soon. They should include word about updates to Vivisimo�s news, shopping and advanced search pages. On the enterprise side a new release of Vivisimo's clustering software is nearing completion. Thanks to C.A. for the news tip.
