Search Engine of the Day: d e c i p h o
Decipho filters search results by user preferences and tags. By doing this users have the ability to narrow keyword searches by tags given by other users and themselves.
For example, if you do a search for web 2.0 and type in ‘news’ into the tag search bar: when the results come back, it only displays websites within this search that were given the tag ‘news’ by other users. The Community Tags link next to the displayed search results allow users to view all of the tags given for a particular website as well as a percentage breakdown of how many times someone tagged a website a certain tag-word.
At the bottom it will show the breakdown of tags used for a particular keyword search. If a tag was given to a particular website and it does not appear in the keyword search breakdown, it is because the tags were loaded from their browser or they may have used Decipho’s bookmarklet.
A final feature is the Claim a Website option. When a website owner has written a personal description about their site for users to read, an image and Owner’s Message link will appear next to a search result. To claim a website, owners must sign up for an account, log in, click on the Claim A Website tab, and follow the directions from there.
