Grokker Search Engine Provides Visual Search Results

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the sounds-like-kartoo dept.

KeatonMill writes "The New York Times (as always, free registration) ran this article about a new search engine, called Grokker, created by a company called Groxis. Grokker builds a map of content catagories using metadata. So far, it is used in the Amazon.com online catalog and the Northern Light search engine. Groxis is also developing a version to use to search your own computer."

    When will they learn?

    I am not about to spend $100 on software that I don't get to try beforehand. Not giving demos out is so... 19-something-or-other. Hell, I don't even buy CD's that I don't get to sample first. I ain't wasting money on cruft, let alone $100 cruft.

    Sorry guys. No demo == no sale.
