Did you notice the new search box on the right hand side of this page?
Sweet Search is a search interface designed for students. Research experts examine websites and find the best of the best for the needs of students doing online research. CEO Mark Moran's example on Shakespeare better explains it:
"Now let's do a comparison for "Shakespeare" in SweetSearch, Google and Bing.
Again, Wikipedia ranks first for Google and Bing. Also appearing prominently, again due to the specific domain names, are "Shakespeare.com" and "Shakespeare-online.com." Each of these is a well-written "passion site," one created by an individual who is passionate about the subject, but does not possess academic credentials that would enable a student to rely on the sites when writing an academic paper. Each engine also contains several sites that are only about selling products.
On SweetSearch, you again find some outstanding academic resources, many of which are buried in Google or Bing. These include sites from the Library of Congress, the British Library, PBS and Project Gutenberg."
