Tafiti, which means “do research” in Swahili, is an experimental search front-end from Microsoft, designed to help people use the Web for research projects that span multiple search queries and sessions by helping visualize, store, and share research results. Tafiti uses both Microsoft Silverlight and Live Search to explore the intersection of richer experiences on the Web and the increasing specialization of search.

It offers Web, RSS, image, news and book search presented in a rotating carousel. It also offers the ability to drag and save search results.

You’ll need to download Silverlight to use the engine, which offers a richer “visualization” of Microsoft Live search results.
