Visual clustering
One of the uses of Information Visualization on Information Retrival is the clustering of the found pages. Some examples are:
- Kartoo http://www.kartoo.com
- WebBrain - http://www.webbrain.com
- Grokker - http://www.grokker.com
- Anacubis - http://www.anacubis.com/googledemo/google/
- NIRVE (NIST Information Retrieval Visualization Engine). http://www.itl.nist.gov/iaui/vvrg/cugini/uicd/nirve-home.html
- Mooter - http://www.mooter.com/
A bunch of paper have been published:
- Integration of Visualization with Search Engines. http://www10.org/cdrom/posters/1150.pdf
Adaptive Information Retrieval
- Periscope
- Lighthouse: see the technical paper, "Lighthouse: Showing the Way to Relevant Information": http://csdl.computer.org/comp/proceedings/infovis/2000/0804/00/08040125abs.htm

Others
Other services try to visualize graphs of links of pages found. Some of them are:
- TouchGraph GoogleBrowser - http://www.touchgraph.com/TGGoogleBrowser.html
- Onother interesting one is the comparison Engine, by the Univesity of Pisa. It's able to visualize the rank position on different search engine at the same time. URL: http://rankcomparison.di.unipi.it/
