FuzzFind Web Search

Yet another gem discovered via Phil Bradley's blog. FuzzFind Web Search is a meta search tool that combines Google, Yahoo and Live searches with results from social bookmarking site Del.icio.us. The results are amalgamated and deduplicated into a single list. So what? Meta search tools are 10 a penny. But I really like this one because of the way it shows me where each result has been found in each search tool by placing icons and numbers to the left of each entry in the results list. I don't know why that particular and very simple feature impresses me but it does. Search, and the presentation of the results, is a very personal thing and what works for one person will not necessarily work for someone else. This one really works for me.

    Hi Karen,

    Thanks for reviewing FuzzFind Web Search, we're glad that you like it.

    For your information, we've just added a new feature, allowing users to tune and personalize the search results on-the-fly by simply adjusting the weight for each search source through the use of sliders.

    We'd appreciate any feedback that you may have on the service, and do hope that you will spread the word about FuzzFind if you find it useful.

    Thanks again!

    Best Regards,
    FuzzFind Administrator

    Thanks for the update on the new slider bars. A useful tool for bringing results to the fore that I might not otherwise see.

    Karen
