Google is synonymous to search. But does it really answer all your search queries? I have found better results on ask.com at times. It is supposed to have more natural language support. As a user, I do not really care what support or technology a search engine has or whether it gives me “googol” results! In-fact I want it to show fewer and better results! And I want it to classify and arrange these results with proper tags so that I can sift through the set I want to. Clusty (previously Vivisimo) attempts to filter and arrange the results so that user can look for the related results group. Now there are more companies around the corner like Hakia, Wikia, Freebase and new search engine being developed by wikipedia and amazon. Click here to read an interesting posts on Hakia. I am pretty sure Google is not sitting idle with all these geeks and genious technologists and they are also working on the next generation search engine. As Google says, “Search is not a solved problem yet”. Google has been trying many things with its new experimental search engine searchmash.
