New Search Tools Help Organize The Net In Different Views

A crop of new technologies designed to produce more sophisticated search results is challenging Google's market leader position.

Upcoming plans from the same company target now the marketing of a more specialized product -- search engines designed for particular topics. "You'll be able to have different views of the Internet," says Ryan. Other challengers are targeting geographically localized searches in their efforts to personalize results.

Grokker takes Google's results and categorizes them into groups displayed on the screen as bubbles.
