Situation: You need a to increase your search speed.
ManagedQ isn't another search engine. It offers an interesting new -
visually logical - way to look at search results. This is the sort of thing you have to try to really understand, but I think it has a lot of potential. On the left-hand tool bar, it breaks down the search results into People, Places, and Things. In the main body of the screen, you get screen snaps of the results under each category. So you immediately see where you are going. It's like the difference between having your headlights on or off as you drive down the road at dusk. You react a little more quickly and perhaps get where you are going faster. -- kind of like a more advanced version of Ask.com's pop-up previews.
Again, a picture speaks a thousand words - so go ahead and give it a try...

ManagedQ is a great new Palo Alto-based startup. Their search application concept is beginning to gain a lot of traction and I think they are on to something big. Users are very fickle with UI and a lot of people are so trained on Google that it may take them a few visits to "get" ManagedQ, but I think this product will catch on. ManagedQ's Natural Language Processing algorithms seem very powerful after closer inspection and I'm been using them in place of Google for my searches. You can get a bit of a snapshot of where they are (early-stage) on their
ManagedQ Forum.
I glanced at the web site today and it is really a new way to look at search. It is definitely more convenient than a plain text search. Thanks for posting this.
