Quintura Relaunches With New Interface

<p><a href="http://www.quintura.com/">Quintura </a>recently relaunched with a new interface, which has been receiving a fair amount of comment. I originally wrote about the search engine back in <a href="http://blog.searchenginewatch.com/blog/061103-053932">November </a> and I was fairly lukewarm in my praise of it; while it was a nice idea the interface held it back. Well, the relaunched version is now much better, with the tag cloud appearing on the left hand side of the screen, with results appearing in the right hand side. This reduces scrolling and makes the whole process of checking out results much easier.</p> <p>For those who haven't looked at Quintura I should explain that when a search is run a tag cloud appears on the screen and a mouseover of any term changes the results that are displayed, as well as displaying a different set of tags. It's an interesting twist on some of the other visual search engines that are available and if for no other reason it will win some users who dislike more traditional methods of displaying results.</p> <p><a href="http://searchengineland.com/070301-053620.php">Click to continue reading...</a></p> <div class="feedflare"><a href="http://feeds.searchengineland.com/~f/searchengineland?a=hP3R4U2F"><img src="http://feeds.searchengineland.com/~f/searchengineland?i=hP3R4U2F" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.searchengineland.com/~f/searchengineland?a=YCnYAkfq"><img src="http://feeds.searchengineland.com/~f/searchengineland?i=YCnYAkfq" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.searchengineland.com/~f/searchengineland?a=1cKNntQO"><img src="http://feeds.searchengineland.com/~f/searchengineland?i=1cKNntQO" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.searchengineland.com/~f/searchengineland?a=y3VxKCy3"><img src="http://feeds.searchengineland.com/~f/searchengineland?i=y3VxKCy3" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.searchengineland.com/~f/searchengineland?a=3qHQMdi7"><img src="http://feeds.searchengineland.com/~f/searchengineland?i=3qHQMdi7" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.searchengineland.com/~f/searchengineland?a=orAJsBzf"><img src="http://feeds.searchengineland.com/~f/searchengineland?i=orAJsBzf" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.searchengineland.com/~f/searchengineland?a=7xamatjo"><img src="http://feeds.searchengineland.com/~f/searchengineland?i=7xamatjo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.searchengineland.com/~f/searchengineland?a=Tubqr3GE"><img src="http://feeds.searchengineland.com/~f/searchengineland?i=Tubqr3GE" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.searchengineland.com/~f/searchengineland?a=IrL9e8vO"><img src="http://feeds.searchengineland.com/~f/searchengineland?i=IrL9e8vO" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.searchengineland.com/~f/searchengineland?a=X96IkiwJ"><img src="http://feeds.searchengineland.com/~f/searchengineland?i=X96IkiwJ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.searchengineland.com/~f/searchengineland?a=hTGbqXAT"><img src="http://feeds.searchengineland.com/~f/searchengineland?i=hTGbqXAT" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.searchengineland.com/~f/searchengineland?a=Qw0lZVq1"><img src="http://feeds.searchengineland.com/~f/searchengineland?i=Qw0lZVq1" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.searchengineland.com/~f/searchengineland?a=SnV143SQ"><img src="http://feeds.searchengineland.com/~f/searchengineland?i=SnV143SQ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.searchengineland.com/~f/searchengineland?a=Tubqr3GE"><img src="http://feeds.searchengineland.com/~f/searchengineland?i=Tubqr3GE" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.searchengineland.com/~f/searchengineland?a=Ju2WqvZI"><img src="http://feeds.searchengineland.com/~f/searchengineland?i=Ju2WqvZI" border="0"></img></a></div><img src="http://feeds.searchengineland.com/~r/searchengineland/~4/97833343"/>

For those who haven’t looked at Quintura I should explain that when a search is run a tag cloud appears on the screen and a mouseover of any term changes the results that are displayed, as well as displaying a different set of tags. It’s an interesting twist on some of the other visual search engines that are available and if for no other reason it will win some users who dislike more traditional methods of displaying results.
