Google used to have a page that presented a few text entries and a search button. It would attempt to find relations between the entries.

For example, if I were to enter "Earth", "Mars", and "Jupiter" it would return such results as [The rest of the solar system listed], "Solar System", "Space", etc.

I can't recall the name and I didn't see a product that sounded similar in this list: http://www.google.com/options/

Any ideas?

Woo! Not sure why I couldn't think of the word "sets".

Many thanks.

Awesome.

I put in some songs from Dark Side of the moon and it gave me the remainder of the track listing.

It did not, however, successfully accomplish the same task for Thirteen. Which saddens me that we're not famous enough for Google Sets yet. frown

No, Tony, you misunderstood. Google just figured that everybody knew "Thirteen", so why waste the bandwidth on redundant information.

I cannot decide if this is creepy or amazing. Can it be both?

I'm starting to feel redundant.

I put in "harpo" and "groucho" and got this:

- harpo
- groucho
- chico
- zeppo
- groucho†
- marx brothers
- gummo
- dracula 1931
- marx, chico
- brothers
- marx
- casablanca
- margaret dumont
- marx, harpo

All of those make some sense, except dracula and casablanca.

The Marx Brothers made a parody of "Casablanca" called "A Night in Casablanca". I don't know about Dracula, though.
