FOOXX is based on client-server-solution and the patented 'Personal Rank' technology. FOOXX "studies" the activity of its members as they surf and from this, learns the importance of the sites being used.
How are the search results ranked?
In contrast to conventional search engines, FOOXX does not rank its' sites exclusively according to content, but also through the evaluation of other users' interactions.
Intensively used sites receive a higher ranking than sites which are only briefly visited. In this way, each internet site receives a ranking which really reflects its' value to the user. Attempts to manipulate don't stand a chance. FOOXX ranks sites fairly.

Look. Decision-making is difficult, and decisions have to be made constantly.
What should I be for Halloween? Do I need a Porsche? Should I dump that loser? Is Phoenix a good place to retire? Whom should I vote for? What toe ring should I buy?
It's a cruel world out there. Coin-flipping, I Ching consultation, closing your eyes and jumping, postponing the inevitable, Rock-Paper-Scissors, and asking your sister are all time-honored means of coming to a decision -- and yet we think there's room for one more: Hunch.

Digital Web Magazine - User Interface Implementations of Faceted Browsing
by holyver

Just as it is important to choose the proper knife when slicing-n-dicing vegetables, it is critical to prescribe a suitable user interface to support faceted filtering. Faceted filtering allows you to narrow down a large list of objects to a manageable size by applying flexible combinations of attribute filters in any order. Rather than forcing you down fixed paths within a website’s information architecture, faceted filtering allows you to multi-dimensionally slice-n-dice the information in a manner that best accommodates your specific needs. A user interface that optimally supports faceted filtering must expose its robust functionality in a way that expresses affordances, controls complexity, and follows existing standards that have been pre-established across the web.
