KwMap



KwMap is one of the new "visual" search engines that, like Grokker, display alternate phrases or related concepts that the user might try to obtain better results. The byline for this product states that it is "A Keyword Map for the Whole Internet". The visual aid (in this case, two intersecting lines) is typically at the top of the page, followed by the results (see above).

Are you familiar with Aqua Browser? It kinda, sorta does the same thing. When you do a catalog search, it will bring up related terms and the fonts will be in various sizes. The bigger the font the more significant the word is (which is a link).
