View Full Version : Kind of interesting search engine

I was browsing through RGRN today and came across an unusual piece of spam. In my book spam is something to be put down with extreme prejudice, but the subject line caught my eye: "Mining the Web: eigenVectors, Kriging, Inverse Distance Weighting Searches". This was some seriously geeky spam. The text made it even better. It was a technical description of how their engine performs eigenvector math and Jacobian matrices, how it handles cross-pollination, etc. The full text is at:
hxxp://www.eigensearch.com/inc/constructs/beta.htm
I was thorougly amused by the idea of someone mass spamming something with such narrow appeal, that I broke with my usual rule of conduct and actually took a look at the site. It turns out that it might actually be useful. The main page is, of course:
hxxp://www.eigensearch.com
If nothing else, it's a quicker way of doing complicated search constructs, particularly if you don't know all the CCTLD's by heart. Sadly their formatting isn't very Firefox/Mozilla/Netscape friendly.

That's reminded me of something... I found a "visual" Google-esque search engine once, you searched for your keywords and instead of results, it returned a visual map of relationships between web pages. I lost the link, never found it again, but it was pretty neat. Don't spose anyone knows what I mean?

Wait, if you stare really hard you can see a knight fighting a dragon in 3D in that...
