VisIT
 VisIT
is a search engine interface that, instead of lengthy lists, displays
results in an interactive, graphical, and analytical way. The retrieved
information is not shown as hits per page, but in a "search
space". The web pages are represented by icons that are grouped
around the respective web site; each web site is provided with its
URL, which allows to quickly scan hundred of hits at once. The result
is hierarchically organized; important web pages are located in
the center of the organigram and are additionally categorized through
the use of different shades of colors. Arrows visualize hyperlinks
and show which of the pages are regarded as relevant and useful
by other users.
VisIT is being developed at the Beckman Institute of Advanced Science
and Technology at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign,
US.
