- AllPlus - impressive new metaseach engine
29 May 2008 - The cluster tree shows topics - fairly descriptive rather than the one-word form used at several metasearchers. The graph is done through Java - will be slower to load but is worth the wait in order to fine tune the search.
Web 2.0 interface is effective. Tool does show source search engine for result (MSN, Google etc). It doesn't provide any controls on choice of engine, number of results, or an "advanced" search form. But that's fine - it's still impressive. Allplus is a keeper.

29 May 2008 - So what is so different? Well, when you use ScienceRoll Medical Search you do still get results from PubMed mixed in. That is also true of Google Scholar. ScienceRoll, though, is a bit like a blogroll -- "who are your favorites?" ScienceRoll searches the crème de la crème of the medical web -- World Health Organization, Centers for Disease Control, National Institutes of Health, Health On the Net, and many more. Then it gives you what it finds (a little, not too much, some consumer, some clinical) with more suggestions and ideas for refining your search. For a site targeting the general public I can definitely see why Chris felt this was a better choice than dumping John Q Public directly into the heart of the clinical dialog.

- AllPlus: The Universal Meta Search and Discovery Engine
27 April 2008 - AllPlus is a relatively new metacrawler that searches for websites, news, images, video, and blogs on the major search engines.
I was able to add AllPlus to the search engines in my IE 7 browser, so I’ve been using it a fair amount recently. It’s finicky on occasion, but I like it a lot.

- Rescuing missed information
17 October 2005 - "People who assume that Google has everything really miss relevant items," said Tamas Doszkocs, a computer scientist at the National Library of Medicine (NLM). He has been working for almost a decade on a metasearch engine called ToxSeek, which scours toxicology and environmental health databases at government agencies. The site, accessible during its beta-testing phase, is scheduled to launch later this year.
In addition to metasearch capabilities, ToxSeek also uses clustering, another new search technique. With clustering, algorithms sort search results into groups based on textual and linguistic similarities.
For example, a ToxSeek user could search for "cancer" and "smoking," and the system would return results categorized by a variety of subheads, including the information's source, topic and type.
Clustering lets users see results that would otherwise appear near the end of ranked lists, and they can survey the information landscape before digging in.
One of the earliest adopters of clustering in the government is the Homeland Security Digital Library. The library, maintained by the Homeland Security Department and Naval Postgraduate School, deployed a version of ToxSeek more than six months ago.
