Clusty -http://clusty.com/

 

I found Clusty to be fast and easy to use. It provides the user many options to search diverse subjects through many databases.

 
Database:
 
Ø Web
Ø News
Ø Images
Ø Pictures
Ø Wikipedia
Ø Blogs
Ø Jobs
Ø Shopping
Ø Government pages
 
The search engine does not seem to be case sensitive and it will look up exact phrases if one puts quotation marks around their specific phrase. The search page is well organized and does not overwhelm the user with cluttered advertisements and other non-relevant words or images.   Clusty also provides a small cluster of information on the left side of the screen to provide the user with more options as to where to find information in different categories such as news, TV, and so on. 
 
 
When you click on advance search there are options to help the user narrow their search and make the research aspect quick and efficient, here are some of the advance search options.
 
Advance Search:
 
Ø Query
Ø Host
Ø Language
Ø Field type
Ø Cluster
Ø Adult Filter
 
Clusty also allows the user to choose their preferences on each page to add to easy and efficient searching experience.
 
Preferences:
 
Ø Results per page
Ø Number of clusters
Ø Result Target
Ø Result Display
Ø Tabs (custom tabs)
 
Clusty also provides a unique feature which is the remix tab located on the Cluster menu. The remix tab allows a user to click once to reveal other submerged topics on the page with the search results.

So far, I would recommend this search engine for other students to explore because it is fast and seems to be efficient.
