Previewseek

From Inter Alia: "I have been experimenting with PreviewSeek, a new meta-search tool from the United Kingdom. It claims to be 'the world's most advanced search engine' -- when you make a claim like that, you better be able to back it up. PreviewSeek is certainly an interesting tool, and it provides a lot of great information.

Try a search for ajax. First you'll get a green box listing all of the things that Ajax can refer to: characters in the Iliad, the cleaning powder, the Web technology, or even the fictional company in the Mickey Mouse cartoons. This is a good way to focus your search, if the terms you're looking for can mean different things. Next, check out the folder listing to the left -- PreviewSeek clusters its results much like Clusty, so you can quickly drill down to sites that are related to your search. PreviewSeek also offers thumbnails of the sites, so you can see at a glance the search result. You can also save your results to a Search Folder (30 listings allowed)."
