Vivisimo doesn't use predefined categories. Its software determines them on the fly, depending on the search results. The filing is done through a combination of linguistic and statistical analysis, a method that even works with other languages. A similar process powers Grokker (15-person company), a downloadable program that not only sorts search results (combined from six search engines: Yahoo, MSN, AltaVista, Wisenut, Teoma, and FAST), into categories but also "maps" the results in a holistic way, showing each category as a colorful circle. Within each circle, subcategories appear as more circles that can be clicked on and zoomed in on. It takes a few minutes to get used to Grokker. But the value of its nonlinear approach quickly becomes clear.
