[WEB4LIB] New search engine

[Sandra Bostian]

I like Google's search results better but I like the thumbnails,
one-click region filter, and bookmarking functions. I often use foreign
language websites and the ability to click on Russia and weed out
non-Russian sites when I search for something in Russian is very nice.
It then allows you to sort even further by administrative regions. This
doesn't seem to work too well but if it were to, that could be very
handy.

The fact that I can bookmark pages (left bar toward the bottom)
"locally" is also nice. Sometimes I find things in searches that I would
like to pursue later but aren't totally relevant now. Or maybe they are
relevant but there may be something more tasty in the list that I want
to see first. I can bookmark it there and not have to later remember
what I searched for. And I don't have to clutter up my browser bookmarks
with things of passing interest. Unfortunately, I accidentally blipped
it out and can't get it back but it's a nice feature.

Have people seen <http://beta.exalead.com/>? What do you think of it? I

like the thumbnail screenshots, but that isn't the only feature it
has.
