Re: Vivisimo

I'm back from depos, and I'm glad to see you're talking about my favorite meta-search tool, Vivisimo.  I'm a big fan of "clustered results," and I think that Vivisimo does it as well as any.  I also see that Dogpile is featuring clustered results, too.  I think it's a great concept, and a terrific way to organize your thoughts (if not your research) on a particular subject.  
 
Orion, I noticed on the FindLaw demo that "in this demo (contrary to our main search) the query is transmitted to the search engine 'as is'."  Can you explain further?  How is a query transmitted in your main search?

Thanks for telling us about your experience with Vivisimo, Jim. Now all of 
us with unusual names will be running them through it. One comment in your 
post prompts me to clarify my earlier question about the tool:

I did not intend to request proprietary information but was hoping for a 
general explanation.

Thanks,
