Quintura is an interesting search tool. You enter in a word or phrase and it then clusters related words around it. e.g. Enter in Ruby and you get Rails (as in Ruby on Rails) as well as ruby the precious gem. In this case I wanted Ruby on Rails so I clicked Rails and now my phrase is Ruby Rails and any related words to that phrase are then shown. You can then hover over these words and further relations are shown.
The bit that I really liked was that Quintura doesn’t reinvent the search engine. It works off of your favourite one, be it Google, Yahoo! or a host of others.
The UI is slick and easy to use. Results are returned quickly. Installation was a breeze and overall it feels like a professional application.
I’d like to see a web-based version of this, something that sits inside my browser which would make following result links easier.
