OrcaTec from the US is running the green search engine truevert. Its aim is to display only search results with the topic of green, natural etc. stuff. Truevert is not using its own crawler but uses Yahoo! BOSS to retrieve search results and their technology for clustering and some kind of machine learning. You can search for the term “wood” and beside the ordinary result list you’ll retrieve a list of clusters to search in. OrcaTec uses truevert to show off their development capabilities in setting up specialized search engines and algorithms.
A new version of Compass – an open source framework to build search engines – was released yesterday. Does anybody has experiences with it?
