Default Kosmix

Sorting through the vast amount of information on the Web to find what's most useful is a job normally left up to you. Most search engines present you with thousands of links, and you're supposed to scan the first few dozen and figure out what's worth clicking.

Kosmix takes a different approach. Working as a kind of information aggregator, Kosmix presents your search results in a magazine page format so that you can more easily scan the types of information available. One section, for instance, is devoted to "featured topics," while video and image-related results are presented under the more traditional links. Also, a section of search results is compiled from social media sites. Because its emphasis is on quality rather than quantity, Kosmix tends to favour results from content-heavy sites such as Wikipedia.
