Tafiti Search Engine from Microsoft

Tafiti, which means "do research" in Swahili, is an experimental search front-end from Microsoft, designed to help people use the Web for research projects that span multiple search queries and sessions by helping visualize, store, and share research results. Tafiti uses both Microsoft Silverlight and Live Search to explore the intersection of richer experiences on the Web and the increasing specialization of search.

In other words, as you could see here when you search for any topic, you could filter them specific to the icon displayed here. You could filter the RSS feeds, Blogs, Images, News, as of now. Probably, they would come out with lot more.

All these days am a die-hard fan of godark.us due to the search in black for google, not any more. Secondly, am not sure about the content relevance percentage of the search. Time will prove the statistics.

Apart of that it also has the mechanism to save the search onto the right side of the visible area.

So that you don't require remember for a specific search.

True that, it installs the Silverlight component. But silver light is going to be the future for streaming videos on web.

And one more thing, can I consider this as stack of my searches????

What do you say?

I saw you said you were a fan of GoDark. :) Very cool. GoDark's search engine results are pulled directly from Google.com It is a Google COOP integration with added features. Glad you like it. Any tips? Feature Requests?

Thanks for request to know the tips or features for GoDark.us.

There are many-a-features that are not available from the traditional Google search. Links like, Cached Page / Similar Pages / etc., are missing.

Anyhow, it really cool to experience such search facility.
