Unclustering is in Vogue
At last, two more major search engines that cluster results by site now offer functional ways to uncluster the results. HotBot's filter, announced below on July 6 now seems to work. Google has been showing only the first two pages per site with no option for unclustering all of the results. Now, for searches that find less than 1,000 hits there is a brief message at the bottom of the last page of hits:
"In order to show you the most relevant results, we have omitted some entries very similar to the ones already displayed.
If you would like, you can repeat the search with the omitted results included."
Try this search on tilinca with hits set to 100 and then click the link at the bottom to see the unclustered results. By the way, Google has changed the language on its display back from "Show matches (Cache)" to the original "Cached." Sometimes common sense prevails.
