Search intelligently with SweetSearch
February 18, 2009
I love Google, but it does get irritating to have to wade through a bunch of junk and irrelevant search results to find what I’m looking for. SweetSearch aims to remedy that by pairing the power of the search engine with the common sense of the human brain.
SweetSearch is an offshoot of findingDulcinea, which bills itself as librarian of the internet. Like any good librarian, they’ve dedicated themselves to finding useful info quickly and efficiently. According to the horse’s mouth, “The sites included in the SweetSearch engine were hand selected by the team of Internet researchers at findingDulcinea.com. Every site included in SweetSearch has been reviewed for content, quality and reliability.”
You’d think that poring over websites by hand would mean a dearth of useful resources. Not so. A search on “North Carolina history” turns up information on items like the Lost Colony of Roanoke, population and geographical info, and a lot more. While SweetSearch won’t make me completely forsake the almighty Google for web research, I do like knowing I can easily find information that appeals to someone other than SEO gurus and search bots. -BILL FERRIS
