How-to search engine HowDoYa.com announced a new capability that enables Internet searchers to “x-ray” a search result for relevant words and concepts.

HowDoYa’s x-ray vision provides searchers with a quick and easy method for determining the quality of search results without ever having to leave the results page. When the user clicks the x-ray glasses, the site is “x-rayed” and matched to a set of 75 words that are precisely relevant to the search query. The greater the quantity of words matched, the increased probability that the website is relevant and has sufficient depth to provide the information sought. This helps the searcher decide which sites to visit and helps avoid sites such as link farms or those that may expose searchers to viruses or other forms of malware.

Basically, it saves you that one extra click because you get to take a look at what a site can give you in terms of relevancy.
