KoolTorch, The Search Visualization That No One Would Use

KoolTorch Logo
KoolTorch is a patented technology that lets you visualize your search based on categorization and clustering of the underlying data.

Typical search results retrieve web pages based primarily on the number of pages linking to them. This definitely is not pertinent in all cases and for all users. KoolTorch retrieves the results and present them in a multi-level graphical format with 100 or more results displayed in a single page.

The graphical presentation might be nice for some, but it really takes a while to chart it out and I for one is certainly not so patient to wait that long. According to KoolTorch the results you are searching for might not be on the first page, but by using KoolTorch you are making sure that they are not on the first page, as it is riddled with a graphic categorization of the results, that no one would be interested in.

KoolTorch is one service that I am sure I won’t be using, unless they do something radically innovative.

    We value all feedback and appreciate your time looking at our site. As to your specific comments, the actual categories used in this Beta come from the underlying database that is searched; so we have no control over them at this stage. We are working on speed and confident it will be improved. Two questions for you, do you know of another site where you can review and immediately acess 100 search results from a single screen? Or where you can drill down and view search results at every level of their category path? We would appreciate an opportunity to talk further with the author of this post. If you are available, please e-mail us at info@kooltorch.com so we can set up a time. Thanks again. KoolTorch.

    Thats right but may be there isnt any such tool, coz no one thought it to be a great idea. Sure you can view links to 100 search results on a single page, but thats it you dont guess their content or context, which offcourse requires you one additional click.

    Waste of time
