Web Nodes
This is an abstract Web Application not necessarily meant to be useful nor accurate.
It presents the web in the form of directed graphs contructed by querying
Yahoo!'s Search Web Services.
It starts with a root node (green ovals or squares depending on your browser). For each node it finds the related searches and those become the child nodes. For each node it also does a regular contextual web search to find the yellow search results and it also does an image search and grabs the first four images which are then linked to that node. Moving your mouse over a node shows the linked images, and moving your mouse over a yellow web search result shows the full title and the summary of that result. Clicking on a node makes that node the new root node of your search graph.
Clicking on the title of a yellow web search result popup will take you to that result, whereas clicking on the summary text of the result will do a term extraction of that text and create a new graph with the parent of your search result as the root node and the extracted terms as the initial set of related nodes. The idea here is to broaden your search to include all the key concepts of a given article within the context of your original query. A bit hard to explain, but clicking on the body of the search result popups is the way to get some very interesting search graphs, so try it. The higher your resolution the better!
