Tafiti, which means "do research" in Swahili, is an experimental search front-end from Microsoft, designed to help people use the Web for research projects that span multiple search queries and sessions by helping visualize, store, and share research results. Tafiti uses both Microsoft Silverlight and Live Search to explore the intersection of richer experiences on the Web and the increasing specialization of search.

You can get the codebase from http://codeplex.com/wlquickapps and and there is a detailed Deployment guide and Walkthrough (or video).

Below are some screenshots of Tafiti in action.

There is lots of great tech bits in this codebase such as:

  • Reusable Silverlight Controls
  • Code which wraps the Live Search SOAP API
  • Windows Live ID Web Authentication implementation

  • Hey John

    i've uploaded it against this work item and we'll be adding it to the codebase.
