What the Heck is a Swicki?

Swicki is a customized search engine in beta form.  It is developed by Eurekster.  It allows users to make a deep and focused inquiry on a particular topic. It is a new kind of collaborative search engine.  It permits a user or a group of users and their community to customize results of a specific search query.

Swicki utilizes the wisdom of its user/s to have full control of their desired results. This makes it unlike other search groups.  This is done by allowing them to create and organize a particular niche.  It will then be published directly in their own sites or blogs.

One feature of Swicki is to provide regular updates on customized inquiry of users.  It directly publishes the updates to the user’s websites and blogs.

TechCrunch is the largest blog in France.  It has defined Swicki as “hyper-contextual search results”.  The description is based on its desirable search function. This defines that this search engine authorizes users to tailor-fit and refine their search inquiry.  It assists the users by identifying the most important sources.

Search results can be collectively modified by scanning all data.  Another option is to search query results revealed by the search engine. Other sources are specified by the user.

Swicki.com can also be browsed by an interested user.  It will aide him in gathering, and organizing the index of information needed. A Swicki directory is available to assist Swicki search engine users.

There are four simple processes in building a Swicki.  Each should be observed carefully.  Learning the process will enable users to save time and get good results.

First, you need to customize your Swicki. Organize your thoughts.  Finalize how you want it to appear on your desired site. The user should prepare the important and specific information on focus. Desired results can only be achieved if the user adds relevant keywords, search sites and websites to the training form of Swicki.com.

Second, modify your search by accomplishing the forms in the Swicki site. Third, pay attention to the results the search engine has provided.  You can edit the search results.
