When performing a search for information on your web site, intranet or extranet, do your end-users sometimes end up with too many results, some of which are irrelevant and not query-specific? If so, they may choose to search within results or try a new search. But then again, if they lack the time or patience to wade through the results or start over, they may just give up and abandon their search without the information they came looking for.

The Velocity Clustering Engine, an integral part of the Vivísimo Velocity Search Platform, helps your users locate the information they need and understand the context of what they find. Instead of returning just the first ten results of thousands upon thousands of hits, search results are grouped together by "clusters," which are search results organized into categories. These clusters are created dynamically at the time of the search query so there is no need to modify content beforehand so that it can be understood by the search engine.

The Velocity Clustering Engine offers powerful controls that put end-users in command of their own search experience. In one quick glance, they can see the entire range of search results organized for easy drill-down and navigation. They can quickly weed out irrelevant information and perhaps uncover relationships that they would never have found by using a traditional search engine. What employee, customer or partner wouldn't be happy about that?
