To be very blunt, this is just another search "concept" destined to stay an also-ran. The clustering aspect is a mildly interesting concept which may attract some search geeks, but any search engine which you need to explain is entirely missing the point.

Users want to type the word in the little box and get the site they want - if they wanted to wander through esoteric categories, they would use DMOZ.

Minor point: nasty blue background with illegible white text. Yeuch! Remember, white is the new black.

Finally, the toytown name: "Clusty the clustering engine". ROTFL! I mean it's so awful it completely defies description. I'd love to know what they were smoking during the management meeting when that was decided...!
