New kid on the search engine block . . .
I'd been trying for several days to locate a presentation I'd seen online back in my days as a QA Manager, on the relationship between the varying types of "quality" that are desirable at different stages in the technology product lifecycle, as defined by Geoffrey Moore (you know: Innovators, Early Adopters, Early Majority, Late Majority, Laggards). Anyway, several Google searches failed to turn up the presentation I was looking for, though they all brought up various versions of a paper by Joanna Rothman on essentially the same topic. I also tried manually poking around on StickyMinds.com, QAForums/QALinks, Satisfice's site, and other resources I used in those days.
This morning, I came across a reference to Kartoo, described as a search engine that presented results visually, with links between the returned hits indicated. I tried the search there, and found the presentation I was looking for immediately. The presentation of search results is very similar to the representation used by The Brain. I have no idea how extensive the index behind Kartoo is, or how well it works overall, but it's already been worthwhile for me.
