“Broad exploration, unexpected discovery, deep understanding.”

A new way to look at search engine. The thing that makes it different from otther search engines is “content grouping”. Just try it. Grokker.com

I searched for Ankit and it grouped results for “Ankit Fadia”, “Ankit Jain”, Ankit Shah”, “Ankit’s Profile”, etc; Excelling intelligence. Morever that java applet has great animation work. These guys are doing great job.

Actually there is clustering engine that groups all fetched pages as per their content. Here is the Grokker architechture:

The only thing is it’s not so popular as Google or Yahoo are. More tips for Grokker :

• Use Google. Increase no of results, even for demo, at least 250-300, so that more likely grouping can be done.
• Crawl the web, and create an “Internet directory”, like DMOZ, and perform automatic grouping.
