Helioid Preview

Thursday, February 24, 2011

A couple months ago we opened up the Helioid development version to the public, but have not yet announced it. We have recently migrated servers and tweaked algorithms and have significantly improved the performance.  There is still a lot of work to be done but we believe this reflects a healthy starting point.

The graphic below illustrates how you can use Helioid to go from a question or idea to a organized lists of results that helps you build better search queries.

This version of Helioid is a meta-search engine offering category based personalization. Below is screenshot of the results after querying Helioid:

By interacting with the categories on the left you can choose the results to be shown on the right.  Please let us know if you have any suggestions, comments, criticisms, complaints; anything. Try out the Helioid preview now.

Thanks to Ben de Jesus for helping with site design and user experience.
