Today we give thanks - for our sponsors!
AltSearchEngines would not exist if it was not for these five alternative search engines that you see here and on the blog. They support AltSearchEngines because they believe in our mission and want us to prosper and grow.
Readers, I want to thank you also! Would you do one thing for me today? Would you visit these five sites and make one of them your new homepage for the New Year? That’s the best “Thank You” that we can give them so that in 2008 there will be a lot more search engines to show you!
Hakia is building the Web’s new “meaning-based” (semantic) search engine with the sole purpose of improving search relevancy and interactivity, pushing the current boundaries of Web search. The benefits to the end user are search efficiency, richness of information, and time savings.The basic promise is to bring search results by meaning match - similar to the human brain’s cognitive skills - rather than by the mere occurrence (or popularity) of search terms. hakia’s new technology is a radical departure from the conventional indexing approach, because indexing has severe limitations to handle full-scale semantic search.hakia’s capabilities will appeal to all Web searchers - especially those engaged in research on knowledge intensive subjects, such as medicine, law, finance, science, and literature.The mission of hakia is the commitment to search for better search.
