Refine your online search terms with SortFix

SortFix
Sometimes it's hard to find what you're looking for online. You go to Google, type in your search terms, and a few million results pop up. How are you ever going to find what you're looking for that way? Sure, if your search terms accurately described what you were looking for, the top results should be relevant. But sometimes it's hard to find the right search terms.

That's where SortFix comes in. You can use this site to search Google, Yahoo! or DMOZ. After you enter your search words, SortFix will show your results on the lower half of the screen. On the top you'll see a list of associated words. You can drag words that are relevant to the "Add to Search" box and the words that you want to ignore to the "Remove" box. Click Search again and you should get more accurate results, plus some new terms that you can add or remove.

Overall, you probably spend a little longer looking things up using SortFix than you would if you just went to Google. But in the end you might get more relevant results. Check out a cute little demo video showing how to search for homemade ice cream recipes after the jump.
