WiseNut was a crawler-based search engine that officially launched on September 5, 2001.[1] Like Teoma, WiseNut automatically clustered search results, a technology called WiseGuide.[2] Despite being referred to as a "Google killer" and having a good start, WiseNut never managed to become a major search engine. It lacked boolean search in the standard search and other advanced search features.[1][2] The company was based in San Francisco, California.[3]
On March 12, 2002, LookSmart announced that they would be acquiring WiseNut for about $9.25 million in stock.[4] LookSmart completed the acquisition in April.[5]
WiseNut shut down in late-September 2007.[6][7]
