A number of search sites are experimenting with clustering and graphical representations of search results. This can provide a useful means for sorting through the thicket of your results, and then further refining a query. In particular, these techniques can reveal relationships between items in a set of search results and inspire additional search terms. You may wish to try:
-
Vivisimo for its clear, expandable, branching outlines
-
Fazzle for its clever "preview" option, which opens a letter-box window right in the search results list - saves time
-
Kartoo for its interactive search results maps, and the genie
-
Mooter for its simple but clear cluster graphics
