Kartoo.com: A Visual Meta Search Engine

• Kartoo is a visual meta search engine, "with visual display interfaces.
• When you click on OK, KartOO launches the query to a set of search engines, gathers the results, compiles them and represents them in a series of interactive maps through a proprietary algorithm."
• Or simply put, it puts its results on a map for you.
• * Type in your query to the search box.
• You will see a screen with three columns: the first column contains all the topics Kartoo found that have anything to do with your search query.
• My search query was "silver charms", and so my topics ran the gamut from "wholesale sterling silver jewelry" to "antique silver charms."
• The second column contains the actual map generated by your search results; as you mouse over, the links between the various map locations will light up, showing their relationship to each other.
• Also, when you hover over one particular site, the information for that site will show up in the far left column.
• Lastly, the third column gives you the option to print, send, or save the search results map, with the additional options of adding a site or adding a topic.
• * If you click on any of your search results, they will open in a new window.
• That's it in a very small nutshell.
• Kartoo is a metacrawler/metasearch engine, which means that it does not come up with its own results, but aggregates the results of many other search engines.
• You also can install Kartoo on your site in order to have search capability; as well as the KarToolbar, a browser toolbar that has some cool features.
