PITTSBURGH & PARIS -- Vivisimo (www.vivisimo.com), the leading provider of intelligent clustering, search and meta-search software for organizing search results, and the Ministry of European Affairs today announced the availability of a special free tool for readers of the European Constitution at the Website http://www.constitutioneuropeenne.fr.

The new search tool lets government officials, policy-makers, reporters, analysts and the general public easily search the more than 400 pages of the European Constitution to quickly focus on areas of interest. Readers can:

--See, at a glance, the main themes in the document by simply clicking the search button without entering a query;

--See the results for a query clustered into folders. Instead of returning long lists of results, Vivisimo Clustering Engine organizes them into relevant folders;

--Easily go directly to the specific page in the Constitution where the search term occurs;

--Search within specific sections only, such as "Treaty," "Protocols," "Declaration."

The Ministry of European Affairs in France is responsible for building awareness and educating the citizens about the treaty to help them make an informed decision. "We understand the importance of this document in determining the future of France as a nation and are committed to providing our citizens the tools they need to easily and quickly access, read and analyze the treaty," said Claudie Haigner, Minister Delegate for European Affairs. "Vivisimo's cutting-edge clustering solution lets the media and public use the latest in search technology to quickly find and focus on items of interest to them."
