Search Engine Journal

Vivisimo, the award-winning clustering engine for Web search, today created a special tool for readers of the 9/11 Commission’s report.

Located at http://vivisimo.com/911 , this tool serves as a reference to help both the media and the general public search the report’s contents and focus on areas of interest quickly.

Vivisimo’s clustering technology organizes this vast report by key topics, making it fast and efficient to zero in on the major themes of the report as well as to search for specific references. The entire 570+ page report is organized into searchable groups or folders such as Bin Laden, FAA, Atta, CIA analytic report, Air Threat Conference Call, etc. A user can select any of these folders and view, with one click, all the paragraphs on the topic scattered throughout the report. Delving deeper, a search on Taliban returns 171 matching paragraphs grouped into folders such as Musharraf/Pakistan; Mullah Omar; Capture, CIA; Massoud, Northern Alliance; and others. The Vivisimo search tool allows readers to navigate the report efficiently and gain more knowledge in less time.
