New Search Engine on the block
New Search Engine on the block
1:03 PM EST 11/13/04
Be the first on your block to try the beta version of yet another new search engine -- [url http://beta.exalead.com/search ]Exalead.[/url] It has a nice clean interface and it offers a proximity operator (this is exciting!). Search results for matching documents include a thumbnail image of the target site, and no ads ... yet.

The left column of the results page is a thrill to my taxonomist soul. It is rich with filtering options, from a list of 'related terms' and 'related categories' to narrowing the search by geographical Web site location or document type (pdf, doc, ppt).

Read a [url http://blog.searchenginewatch.com/blog/041010-week ]review[/url] from Search Engine Watch (scroll down to Oct.12th entries), and run a few queries. How does it compares with your favorite search engine?

Wow, Betha! I'm impressed. Will they give Google a run for their money??

Google is running in its own innovative directions. They have just introduced the Google Desktop (beta version) that enables you to search your own computer!
