Search Methods

qksearch is a 3-in-1 metasearch engine and processes the results in 3 different ways:

1. Clustering Search - results are analyzed, sorted, ranked and organized in a hierarchy of conceptually meaningful folders (clusters). This process is also known as auto-categorization. It does not require any pre-categorization or human interaction. Entire process takes place on-the-fly and entirely managed by our proprietory clustering and categorization algorithm.

2. Combined (Blended) Search - results from all sources are combined together, sorted, ranked and shown.

3. Per-Engine (Split) Search - results from each sources are shown separately with option to view them anyway you want.

You can use any of these 3 search methods interchangeably. With just a single click you can switch between them.
