Tired of sifting through too many lines of text when researching?  This tool will not only help you spice up your search life with a visual, but it will also serve to narrow your search results with relevant or related topics.

How do you utilize it?  Enter your initial search (mine was windows 7);  at the top of the results page select “Show Options”;  under “Standard view” select “Wonder Wheel”.  Now that you have the Wonder Wheel working, you can follow the most relevent search topics off the spokes.

If you open results in a new tab, you can continue to reference the related searches on the wheel, which may make your web surfing more efficient.  Nevertheless, it’s a fun new tool.   I’ll be using it for brainstorming blog topics.

Britt,

There is an interesting story behind the Wonder Wheel feature. Apparently it’s based on an algorithm that was developed concurrently with PageRank in the late ’90s.

You can read about it here:
