SearchCrystal
http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2007/07/searchcristal-visual-meta-search.html SearchCrystal is an interesting way to visualize results from different search engines. The results common to more search engines are placed closer to the center of circle and have special icons that indicate the search engines. You can use this visualization to compare search engines, to find the rankings of a site or just to discover less common web pages. SearchCrystal also lets you view image results, videos, news and blog posts from the most popular specialized search engines, but the overlaps are less frequent here. Unlike most meta-search engines, SearchCrystal lets you view all the top results in a single page and you can also embed it as a widget in your blog. |

Tobler's Flow Mapper
http://www.csiss.org/clearinghouse/FlowMapper/ Tobler's Flow Mapper Geographical movement is of crucial importance. This is because much change in the world is due to movement; the movement of people, ideas, money, or material. One way of depicting and analyzing geographical movement is by way of geographical maps. A convenient and rapid method of displaying movement data on such maps is therefore very useful. A flow mapping program is one approach to this objective. |

Sketch and Search
http://news.com.com/2100-1038-5182775.html Sketch and Search Researchers at Purdue University have developed a search engine that retrieves results based on an image or a sketch. Draw a picture of a wing nut, and the engine will search a database and retrieve all the images that match the drawing. Its earliest appearance outside the research lab is expected to be in industrial databases, rather than in commercial search tools. But in 10 to 15 years, image searches will likely be taking place on the Internet, according to Karthik Ramani, a professor of mechanical engineering at Purdue, and director of the university's Research and Education Center for Information Systems in Engineering. |
