Clustered Results Search Engines

These are search engines that cluster the results in one way or another, so as to make it easier to look at more results simultaneously or interpret results more quickly.

Doc Busca searches other search engines (such as 7search, About, AOL, Ask, Dmoz, Epilot, FindWhat, MSN, Netscape, Overture, Wisenut, and Yahoo) and provides clustered results, a list of the most relevant results, and a list of related categories in its own directory.
iBoogie

Metasearch engine that clusters related results from search queries together. Also provides links to related subject headings from its directory with the search results.

Macromedia flash is required to use this metasearch and clustered results search engine. Results are represented in a graphical display with curved lines connecting related documents and/or clustered topics.
Mooter

Mooter provides clustered search results organized by topic and graphically represents these results. You can also see all the results by clicking the "I want it ALL!" link after you perform a search or pressing the "Moot quicker" button.
Ujiko

Search results are clustered into topics listed in the center of an image that looks like a handheld video game. In a circle around the center of the image, the 10 most relevant results are listed. Clicking on the paper icon allows you to put a site at the top of your results or remove it.
