Clustering search results. Part III: the synergy of metasearching and clustering.

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to further examine clustering search results. Design/methodology/approach - The paper describes and illustrates the most powerful synergy created by the intelligent combination of metasearching and clustering on the fly through Central Search and PolyMeta. Findings - The study finds that the combination of metasearching and clustering, although two opposite functions, can produce effective synergy. Originality/value - This paper looks at the intelligent combination of metasearching and clustering in the form of Central Search and PolyMeta, giving a new step in savvy searching.
