Introducing the Research Engine

Search is Simple, Research is Complex

There are plenty of search engines — why isn't there a Research Engine? Now there is. Iterative Search transforms scattered results into meaningful insights with visual search maps, one-click flagging, and persistent research sessions.

Why a Research Engine?

A search engine delivers isolated facts. A research engine connects related information, tracks your evolving questions, and builds context around your discoveries.

Search Engine

  • Answers one question at a time
  • Linear, single-session workflow
  • Cumbersome bookmarking
  • History is a confusing long list
  • Cannot share research context
  • Start over every session

Research Engine

  • Answers lots of interconnected questions
  • Non-linear, multi-session exploration
  • One-click flagging — no more bookmarks
  • Visual search map with full context
  • Share entire research with colleagues
  • Pick up exactly where you left off

Powerful Research Tools

Every feature is designed around how people actually conduct research.

Search History Map

Visual breadcrumb-style map tracking all searches across sessions. Click any node to jump back.

One-Click Flagging

Flag important pages instantly — no more cumbersome bookmarking. Flags appear on your search map.

Page Annotations

Add notes directly to result pages without copy-pasting into external tools.

Session Persistence

Pick up where you left off — yesterday, last week, or last month. Your research state is preserved.
