Groxis teamed up with Yahoo! to make a free Grokker search tool.

It's a really cool way to search the web.  Here's the link:

Here's a search of CAOS. I was amazed at how many other organizations have the same acronym.

Wow, that tool is impressive.  I did a search for OpenSSI (a Linux high-availability single-system-image kernel patch and utilities) that I am thinking about using and developing during my grad research.  I really liked how it laid everything out in an easy format and let you zoom in and out and see detailed descriptions.  Maybe this will be my new search tool!

I looked at this and though it absolutely sucked.  I felt like they overcomplicated the process with the fancy GUI.  I like good ol text better in this case.
