clustering and search... try manjara.

I mentioned in today's class about the close relation between clustering 
and search. Here is a neat little "meta-search" engine which clusters the 
results from other search engines into topic groups.

http://cluster.cs.yale.edu/

I attached the page you get if you put the query bill clinton. You will 
notice that the second cluster is "clinton, monica, lewinsky" ;-)

Try it out, and see if you appreciate the advantages of clustering. Also 
notice the frequency of cooccuring terms given at the end of the page. We 
will probably study some of the clustering algorithms similar to the ones 
used in this engine.
