Direct Hit
Direct Hit
DirectHit, based in Wellesley, MA, runs a popularity contest. Unveiled in April, Direct Hit's Popularity Engine works in conjunction with partner search sites by tracking the links that Internet users actually select from lists of search results. By analyzing the activity of previous Internet searchers, Direct Hit determines the most popular (and potentially) relevant sites for your search request. The Popularity Engine solves the problem of searching on a general topic and receiving thousands of links through which you have to wade to find what you want.

So far, HotBot is the only one of the major search engines to integrate the Popularity Engine into its site, but more are on the way, according to DirectHit.


Ask Jeeves
Ask Jeeves
Ask Jeeves is a question-answering system allowing anyone to ask a question in plain, simple English without having to use keywords or Boolean search strings. Jeeves provides a concise list of answers with their exact location instead of an exhaustive list of matches.

Arthur


Arthur
Arthur (ART media and text HUb and Retrieval System) is a demonstration project currently under development in Getty Information Institute's Technology Research & and Development group.

Arthur uses the AMORE image system, developed by NEC USA, Inc. to index and search 30,000 images and associated text of 300 selected Websites organized into five databases. Images can be retrieved by image similarity, contextual similarity (text in the Web page near the image is similar), or by keywords in the Web pages. In addition, Arthur provides enhanced access through the use of the Getty Information Institute's Vocabularies.

(Requires Netscape 3.0 or higher, or Internet Explorer 4.0)


Northern Light
Northern Light searches both the Web and what it calls its Special Collection of more than 3,400 premium sources. The search engine is designed to help you sift through the vast news archives for business news and research information.

According to David Seuss, chief of Northern Light. "The Web is the ultimate expression of the problem of too much data and not enough information. Northern Light is making a wholly original contribution to solving this problem by improving the ability of Web searchers to focus on what is relevant and of high quality."
