Highly meaningful multimedia metadata creation and associations

Search results can be clustered into useable groups and provided to a user. The search results can be categorized according to a clustering algorithm associated with a search engine. The clustered search results can be categorized and provided into separate tabs for each category. In another aspect, multiple tab windows can automatically be opened which allows the user to operate simultaneously multiple tab windows whereby the inputs in one tab window provides results in another tab window.
