Okay, so I say that I’m not going to review a search engine, and then I go and review a search engine in my third post. What gives? Well Clusty is just that cool.
In my defense, Clusty is not a search engine, its a metasearch engine (Yeah Mike, BIG difference). If you aren’t aware, a metasearch engine queries several search engines at once. So Clusty’s results tend to cover a lot of ground. The excellent thing about Clusty is the way it organizes search results by grouping them by subject, so not only are the results more complete, but they’re also more useful.
The interface clean and straightforward to use. It includes a filter for adult sites. You can also use the interface to search to news, images, wikipedia, blogs, jobs, and more. What’s more, the site is now completely “Wii Friendly” (If you don’t know what that means, then it probably doesn’t apply to you.) Look in the “about” page to find out how to add a Clusty Cloud to your blog or website like the one at the bottom of this page.
