SearchCloud Updated
August 7, 2008
SearchCloud.net has updated its search system. You can now adjust term weightings from the results page. If you are not familiar with this system, you will want to navigate to http://www.searchcloud.net. The idea is to enter a term and then select a font size for that term. The system puts the term in the cloud and makes an internal notation to weight that term in proportion to its font size. The larger the font, the more significant the term is to your query. Term weighting has been available to search system administrators, but the function is usually excluded from user facing controls. I wrote a profile of the company’s system, and you can read that essay here.
Other changes in the update include:
- Tweaks to the interface
- A hint box
- Results can be copied.
I will keep you posted about developments. A happy quack to those who support term weighting.
