The searchable engine—Jeteye

Her slogan is "Search, Package and Share the Digital World". For a search engine, the concept of 'Package' (packaging) seems to be an interesting design. Returning search results obtained from Google does not appear to be the main task, or perhaps it is merely used as a reference. More importantly, users directly participate in the input, sorting, and association of indexed database data.

Users of jeteye can create their own index collections called jetpaks. These collections include text, links, images, and other jetpaks. Let me give you an analogy: imagine this as a box that holds four types of items. Three of these are content-related manuscripts, notes, and drawings, which should be filled as much as possible. The more items in the box, the more "(search) value" it has. Each box also has its own unique label. The fourth type of item in the box consists of labels from other boxes related to the content. In this way, the boxes are interconnected - you contain me, and I contain you - weaving a huge web-like structure.
