Google SearchWiki

I think this was a long time coming. I still can’t see it when I search, I guess the deployment is taking some time.

Delver is Online

Still alpha, but starting today we are open for business – try it out yourself at www.delver.com.

I wanted to check out a paper titled Towards Temporal Web Search, by Marius Pasca and got a strange result page containing totally unrelated papers. Only the focused search I ran myself for the exact title gave me the actual article.
