Vivísimo wants to change the way search results are displayed on computer screens everywhere. Organized search results with document clustering. No more long, tedious lists.

Vivísimo was founded in June 2000 to develop a university-based algorithmic invention into a solid commercial product. The invention began with a question in 1998: how could the founders' research on scientific discovery be leveraged to solve the information overload problem that occurs when users are faced with hundreds or thousands of documents returned by a search? This question led to a new approach to the decades-old challenge of spontaneously grouping documents, or document clustering. The new approach emphasized the knowledge that human users hope to find rather than the mathematical elegance of the algorithms. Thus, the inventors aimed first for elegant output rather than elegant algorithms, in the belief that it is better for a handful of software developers to deal with obscure complexities than for millions of computer users to suffer complicated and confusing outputs.

Webcrawler, one of the first searchengines available (1995) is now part of the Excite group. Excite keeps Webcrawler on-line as a seperate search service. Submissions go though Overture.com.

Searching is still the Web's most popular activity, and it's the foundation whatUseek is built on.
