Have you met Quintura?

This morning I was re-visiting a search engine called Quintura. Some of you may have heard it before. It came out in late 2005. When it was first released I thought that it was cool but I thought it was just one of those ideas that in my mind was going to fade quickly. Since them Quitura has changed quite a bit and I can now honestly say that they won me over.

It is a great tool, check it out, Quintura offers a visual map of tags or hints contextually related to your search query. You can add or subtract tags from the query with a click of the mouse, this One-Click-Search function lets you specify the context or meaning of the query.

Comment by Glenn Gutmacher on January 7, 2008 at 1:28pm: I have long been a fan of Quintura as well. In fact, when I present the use of thematic search engines in my sourcing training seminars at recruiting conferences, it is the one whose screenshot I've embedded and like to show live (if the venue has Internet access). Note to others: if you mouseover a term in the left-hand pane, it changes the focus of the search -- and the results you see in the right-hand pane!
