OrbisViator is not a general purpose search engine like Google or Bing, but it can serve as a curated starting point for exploration. It is a different approach and acts as an alternative to augment the prompt based approach to queries. Because one doesn’t know what one doesn’t know, having the “scaffolding” of a curated set of options like in this database may make discovery more possible.
This approach is augmented by the AI search functionality provided at the top of every page. One is encouraged to use whatever approach works best for one’s preferences.
Search functionality is provided by Algolia and Google. The Algolia search functionality provided at the top of every page and on the AI Search page is powered by “autocomplete” technology that returns results as one types in real time.
Because this site has been curated carefully, the search functionality on this site ideally provides results with higher precision than some of the other options available on the Internet.
Think of this site as a library reading room with curated shelves. The content at orbisviator.com is handpicked and editorially curated. Some folks enjoy wandering through the shelves of a library and a directory allows one to be curious.
OrbisViator is a launchpad into reliable or thought-provoking corners of the internet, especially for exploratory or interdisciplinary work. So while the directory is a tool for navigating the web, the rest of OrbisViator is more like a journal-magazine hybrid: a place for essays, curated scholarship, and cultural reflection.
