Tafiti, which means "do research" in Swahili, is an experimental search front-end from Microsoft, designed to help people use the Web for research projects that span multiple search queries and sessions by helping visualize, store, and share research results. Tafiti uses both Microsoft Silverlight and Live Search to explore the intersection of richer experiences on the Web and the increasing specialization of search.

Looks cool. But aint the normal search good enough? i mean now google has more complex calculations such as pagerank and sites linking in to make sure you get the right results: aint it good enough?

the "tree" feature is a little like the "mindmap" feature in blinkx, a multimedia search engine . its like microsoft is taking ideas from all sorts of search engines and combining them into an attractive end product.
