Thread: Quintura : an alternative search engine worth a try

Quintura ( Quintura) can be termed as a intuitive search engine.
In addition to displaying the search output, Quintura analyses the search string or query words and presents a mesh of terms related to it. For instance, if you invoke a search on ‘Funds’, along with the output, you will get a mesh of words pertaining to Funds. By clicking on the appropriate word, you can easily refine the search output and zoom on to relevant links. When you point to a word on the mess the search output gets automatically updated by integrating the selected word also in the query.

A similar, even more visual search engine is Kartoo (KartOO visual meta search engine). It gives the option to see the result in a graphical form (flash player based) or as a list (html) . Kartoo is also a metasearch engine with visual display interfaces. When you click on OK, KartOO launches the query to a set of search engines, gathers the results, compiles them and represents them in a series of interactive maps through a proprietary algorithm.
