WiseNut
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WiseNut was a crawler-based search engine that officially launched on September 5, 2001.[1] Like Teoma, WiseNut automatically clustered search results, a technology called WiseGuide.[2] Despite being referred to as a "Google killer" and having a good start, WiseNut never managed to become a major search engine. It lacked boolean search in the standard search and other advanced search features.[1][2] The company was based in San Francisco, California.[3]
