Google Fora
Google: Fora
Fora is a visual search engine for researchers to understand the internet in a contextual and dynamic way by searching for ideas, not keywords.
to FORAGE: to wander in search of something.
FORA: Plural of forums; a medium of the expression of ideas.
How does it work?
Type the idea you want to know more about into the search bar. Topics that fall under the domain of that idea are generated with AI around the initial search.
The side bar allows you to:
save search paths
save, format, and export sources
filter topics under your ideas
The user can preview what the results would be under each topic.
If that topic is of interest, the user can save it for later investigation by clicking on the side bar, or dive deeper into that area of research.
LEARNING HAPPENS IN SPACE. NOT in A VACUUM.
Information seekers rely on the internet to deliver sources and content. Before they know it, they're knee deep in a sea of tabs, and lost.
Fora is a visual search engine that enables browsers to discover and think critically by adding context and organization to the research journey.
In order for Google: Fora to work, AI would need to be applied to the way Google searches. Keywords alone cannot tell that something like “Ceramic Mug,” and “Brazil,” are related.
But AI and a Fora search could tell you: Coffee
