Concept Composition with Faceted Search
Faceted search is what you get by combining simple keyword search with a faceted classification scheme. You won’t find it in Google’s web search (except for one of the Google Labs projects, perhaps), but almost every enterprise search project I work on involves facets in one way or another.

Joongel, Internet The Easy Way
Joongel lar deg søke på tvers av 10 søkemotorer på en gang innenfor en bestemt kategori (søkemotorene er delt opp i kategorier med 10 i hver). Interessant oppsamling av vertikale søkemotorer.
Søkeresultatsiden til Regjeringen.no
Regjeringen.no er dessverre et eksempel på hvordan dårlig interaksjonsdesign reduserer verdien av en søkeløsning. Elementer som trekker ned inkluderer:
1) Mye og homogent utseende tekst gjør det vanskelig å skille spesielt viktig informasjon fra resten.

Interaksjonsdesignet med nullstill-knappen og det at nye søk ivaretar valgte navigatorer har dessverre blitt videreført til EØS-notatbasen: http://www.regjeringen.no/nb/sub/europaportalen/eos-notatbasen.html
