There's a new search engine out there!
Very cool! :-)

Donna Berg writes the following in the Los Alamos Research Lab Research
Library Newsletter:
"The newest search engine with all the buzz is called TEOMA, and while it is
in beta
test mode, it is lighting fast. Keeping the sweet and simple format of
GOOGLE,
TEOMA's search page contains a simple box with a check option for "phrase
match" (you can also use quotes or dashes between words to tie your phrase
together.) There is a very brief "help" page if you want more advice.
The defining look for this product is the results page that presents you
with
varying types of information. Search results are grouped into three
categories to
provide you with distinctly sorted information:
1) web pages grouped by topic, or folders of information by large category
2) a list of web pages and
3) experts' links.
The layout of all this information is unique and easily understood even if
some of
the hits seem odd, weird or totally off-base. I was pleased that folders for
some
of my searches contained foreign web pages, but the experts' links could be
very confusing. Right now speed seems to be the strongest reason to use the
engine,
but like all the others it is well worth a try to see if it is compatible
with your way
of finding, displaying and sorting information."
