On the Tip of Your Tongue? Find It.

How it works

Vaguely is a search engine for things on the tip of your tongue. Instead of needing the exact title or keywords, you describe what you remember — however vague or fragmented — and Vaguely searches everywhere to identify it. It expects misremembered details: the wrong decade, mixed-up facts, a half-remembered name. It searches around the parts you got wrong to find what's right.

Try describing it like this

"that thing that holds spaghetti measurements"
"the word for when you re-read a sentence"
"that gadget from an infomercial"

You don't need to be precise. Pick the Anything Else category, type what you remember, and let Vaguely do the rest.
