Exalead beta search engine

I'm just now reading the 7/05 issue of LJ. This is from Readers' Delight by Cheryl LaGuardia about a beta search tool:

Exalead (beta.exalead.com/search) is a new search engine built from a unique perspective. "Unlike physical libraries, with volumes on shelves in predictable order, the web is a mess," writes François Bourdoncle, Exalead's founder. "With Exalead, decisions about what should be searched, in what form, or where, needn't be made before the net is cast to gather relevant information. . . . When results are delivered, a tailoring tool appears at screen left, and retrieved information is arranged by Related Terms, Related Categories, Web Site Location, and Document Type. . . . Searchers can fine-tune results before clicking on one link."
