Agree this looks a lot like mind mapping visually.

If so I’m with you. If you look at the patent it is kind of amazing that it was awarded.

If not, what is “Mind Mapping” as regards search?

Besides the represantation quintura choose to display the relation of theese words more closely resembles a tag cloud then a mindmap so they aren´t even visually comparable.
So what exactly is the patent they are claiming? Do they own the right to showing the relationship between a set of data independent of the visual represantation?
