New Personal Finance Search Engine Vertical - by Fidelity

Breaking news! Fidelity has a beta version of their Personal Finance search engine. It's from FidelityLabs, which apparently is their site for testing out new products.

It has a nice clean, simple user interface- I like the fonts a lot. They seem to be crawling the web, but are limiting the crawl to finance-related web sites, so coverage seems to a bit limited by their restricted set of sites or pages. They say that they have a manually curated set of sites, and then augment those sites with "hidden gems", sites that they classify as on-topic, and manually accept or reject those sites. In addition, they also index web sites of major financial services companies.

Result quality needs a bit of work, though it's not a bad start. We'll have to see how it evolves.
