Personalized Search result

August 31, 2007

Hello all,

today I want you to show the gloofi “Personalized Search Result” that shows only one Item at a time.

I know, this is totally against what others are doing, as they usually want to show more results with less information, but when you use the “Personalized Search Result”, you can make a much better decision if the Item you are seeing is really what you are looking for so you do not click on old, outdated or useless links.

So, how does this work?

First, you can save search settings that are used any time you use the “Personalized Search Result”, including Semantic Search, Human Search or according to your last searches. The result can be many pages but only one is displayed at a time.

Personal Search Result

By using the Keyboard “Up” and “Down” Keys you can navigate very easy and fast through the result. The text found is more specific and the information below the found text shows links to and from the page as well as what Category the Item is in, what Groups it belongs to and how many Votes and Comments it has. Furthermore, by hitting the space bar the Real Web Page of the found Item will be displayed below the result, so you can browse the result and see the found pages at the same time.

By clicking on the Icons below the result you can send the link via email, preview comments, write comments, or preview pictures, videos and maps.

gloofi has many ways displaying and changing the search result, so go to www.gloofi.comand get an ALPHA account and let me know what you like or don’t like about gloofi.

gloofi is in Alpha now

Finally,

gloofi is ready to go in Alpha version.

Still many things that needs to be done but overall the site is functioning. You can go to www.gloofi.com and request a username and password for an Alpha login. Than you can add content, approve content or just see how all the unique functions work on gloofi. Also, newly added Semantic Search features and a one of a kind Personalized Search with soon to be added Global Search Collaboration Widget is online now.

Search as we know it today will be gone as users are in control of the content and therefore OLD and UNUSABLE content will be gone. Just yesterday I used Google again to search for “world wide daily Internet search queries” and I got only 10 year old pages telling me about HotBot, AltaVista and Excite!!! I am tired of this nonsense and that is why I want you to be involved to make it better.

In gloofi you have the chance to vote for sites and each click and time you spend on a site is counted to come up with a more “personal” algorithm for ranking the sites. This algorithm will eliminate those unwanted and out of date sites and will provide the most accurate and up to date result there is. Even the newly Beta Version of “MyLifeSearch” has the same issue as the OLD guys as that search engine relies on the start index of one of those OLD search engines, so they will find the same old pages.

Go there and check it out. Many enhancements will be made shortly to provide the best search there is.
