Quintura: Alternative Search Engine of the Year
Over on the AltSearchEngines blog, Quintura has emerged as the winner of the The Alternative Search Engine of the Year - 2007 contest.
All the finalists are excellent search engines, so it must have been a tough call - as Charles readily admits. Regardless, I think it's a great choice, and a well-deserved honor for Quintura.
I've mentioned Quintura before on this blog ; the company offers some interesting and innovative technology. In addition to regular search results, one of their special features is a dynamic tag cloud, that allows the user to navigate visually through the search results space - as the user selects specific tags, the cloud automatically re-orients itself to highlight related concepts.
A mini tag cloud for this blog, powered by Quintura, is displayed below - you can play with it yourself to see how it works. Is it an intuitive way to surf through search results? Let us know in the comments. A full-size Quintura cloud for this blog is also available on a separate page.
Great, Nitin! We have implemented a Quintura search cloud on your blog! Looking forward to hearing any feedback on how we can make it better.
