Zeedex, a user collaborated (wiki) search engine

Like Quintura, Zeedex gives you suggestions to help you search, but they come from users instead of a computer, and are categorized in lists to navigate them. When you are searching, you do a search for a topic you want to learn about and then Zeedex will pop up lists of terms related to your search. If you find a term you’re interested in, you can click on it to add it to your search box. Each list is a mini-wiki that can be edited, rolled-back, etc.

Example: Let’s say you are searching for “guitars.“ Zeedex might return a list of famous guitar players, guitar manufacturers, or songs with great guitar solos. Looking at the Guitar Players list, you click the box next to “Jimi Hendrix.“ That term is now added to your search box, and when you search again, you will see results for Guitars and Jimi Hendrix.

The preference between the two engines all comes down to if you are a more visual or analytical person. Either way, Zeedex and Quitura can teach Google/Yahoo/MSN a thing or two about search and how to stay ahead of the curve.
