Search gets personal

Quintura, a visual-based search engine for browsing and discovery-type search, has launched its search engine for individual Web sites and blogs.

The company says Quintura for site search delivers the same navigation principle to site and blog search that Quintura.com brings to Web search, that is, browsing content through a search cloud that brings a user deeper into the query with every click or mouse over. Instead of presenting results in a list, Quintura puts together the cloud of related terms and allows users to browse results by topics. The Quintura search cloud on a site or blog displays semantic concepts from indexed pages. The site or blog user gets search results by either mousing over or clicking keywords and phrases in the cloud.
