Portals and engines for searching the web are among the most interesting developments that we can come across. All eyes are on them, and when a new one materializes it never goes unheeded mainly because everybody is looking for “the new big thing”, and they are even partial to focus a lot of attention on the search capabilities of services like Twitter – that is, something that is not really a search engine to begin with but that plays out the role to the hilt if it wants to.
And now we have a new search engine to put through its paces. Named Zakta, it makes the process of searching for information easier by letting people manually edit and save their results, and then share them with their friends and colleagues. In this way, feedback and insight from the community can be obtained. The search result themselves are shared in what are termed “Zakta Guides” in the site’s parlance – collaborative documents that benefit from the live input that is provided.
The search process itself is a flexible and logical one, as results are split into categories, and related topics and subtopics are provided all the time to enrich the experience of the user. Besides, a set of tools that go by names such as Zakta ClipPad and Zakta SearchPacks are featured for the user to expand Zakta’s search capabilities. Of course, Zakta can be added to your browser’s toolbar effortlessly and searches be launched whenever you wish that way.
