Browser Add In Delivers Faceted Search Results
September 2, 2009
Faceted search is now available for add-in to Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox browsers. DeeperWeb.com offers an add in that generates a tag-cloud from search results. The cloud appears adjacent the laundry list of search results. You can skim one- and two-word tags to drill-down through results more quickly. For example: A search on “Cincinnati Reds” gave me a list starting with their home page, then the Wikipedia entry, ESPN, the Cincinnati newspaper, etc. All general sites with varied information. The classified facets turned up in the tag cloud next to the list and included “american, apparel, baseball, league, mlb, news, ohio, roster, schedule,” etc. So I could go straight to “schedule,” and when the results list reloaded, a direct link to the schedule was top of the list. And here’s a neat little feature: if a tag shows up you think isn’t related, you can exclude it with a single click and the facets are re-classified. Check it out at DeeperWeb.com–it’s free–but keep in mind it only works with Google. Will vendors of high end faceting tools sense a probe from lower cost software developers? Will Google release its faceting technology soon? Interesting questions in my opinion.
