This search engine isn't a Google killer, but it's one that will be gaining in popularity because of its specialized search feature. It's called **[Clusty](http://clusty.com)**because it clusters search results in meaningful groups. If you are doing a large search on a popular term, Clusty will try to put them in groups with commonality to save time.

**Implications** - Though there are quite a few staples in today's online world, smaller companies can attempt to fill the holes these big companies may regret to attend to instead of trying to replace them.
