Tools For Thought - Intelegia

Here is a niffy tool for individuals who wish to search the web with Google and Bing at the same time!!!

Bingle is a search interface that accepts queries and then submits them to the two search engines.  Figure 1 is the search interface index page.

Once keywords are entered,  the result page is divided in two by a vertical bar separating the hits from Bing and Google.  Figure 2 presents the results for the query, “economic development 2.0″.

Taking a look at the pages side by side, the two search tools ranks the results differently after the first hit on the page, in this case, “Economic Development 2.0 | Facebook”.

Bingle offers the function of viewing the listing of hits from either tool in a full screen or half screen view by clicking on the options located on the top right hand corner.  Figure 3 highlights the options in yellow.
