Collecta, the real-time search engine that launched in June, has announced a set of upgrades to its site today.

The most noteworthy is the addition of a social sharing/bookmarking tool that lets users share or save a Collecta search on any of six social media sites, including Twitter, Facebook, and StumbleUpon.

Collecta has also modified its search results display so that the user avatar or web site logo appears next to the search result. You can see that in the middle column above.

One other new feature is a message box on the search page that allows Collecta to communicate directly with users.
