WeFind - Genau was Du suchst! 20081210
by hhva, Alexander Lux, segfault79, khayrat
WeFind is a new Web 2.0 search engine that groups query results into topics in a clear and structured manner. Furthermore, by analyzing news, blogs,communities and articles in Wikipedia, WeFind finds people of interest matching the query.
About this Add-on
The idea behind WeFind is different. WeFind integrates specialized search engines on different topics and areas of expertise under one roof and lists information matching the users’ demands. The user can select from multiple hit lists that are sorted by different categories. For example, if someone searches for “cough”, WeFind automatically detects that the user is searching in the area of health and offers search results grouped into topics appropriate to this search, such as doctors, pharmacy and information in Wikipedia and blog entries. The users can then select the topic they are interested in and continue.
WeFind can be accessed via a browser but also through the more comfortable WeFind desktop client which has additional functionality such as the user’s availability status for members of the WeFind community, access to bookmarks, messages, alerts and contacts. The entire WeFind functions are also available for mobile phones: WeFind Mobile that is completed by a comfortable geo-search. At the time of this writing WeFind is available in German, although an English version is currently under development.
