Since Orion Wolff brought up Vivisimo (welcome, Orion!), I'd like to throw
out for discussion today how it refines FindLaw, even though Vivisimo is on
the schedule for tomorrow. I just ran "nominee corporation" through
Vivisimo's FindLaw page at http://vivisimo.com/demos/FindLaw.html. The
results came back in two columns. The left column displayed the top 160
results for the search. Each search result had a heading that was
hyperlinked to the underlying document, an excerpt from the document
containing highlighted search terms, and the URL. The left column
clustered the results into a series of folders with headings like "Nevada,"
"Nominee Services," "Offshore" and "Delaware Corporation." The number of
results under each heading appeared in parentheses next to the heading.
When I opened a folder by clicking on it, I then saw a series of
sub-folders with headings and the number of results under each.

Has anyone else tried this?

Can you explain what Vivisimo is doing and how it does it, Orion?

Thanks,
