Will New Search Engine Tech Make Google Obsolete?

If you - like many - have ever been frustrated by the seemingly random nature of a Google search's results, a new search engine model may soon be presenting you with results of significantly greater relevance. Developed in-house by up and coming search site Powerset, the new protocol delves into a page's content, finding the meaning behind each sentence, and delivers content that more accurately reflects the nature of your inquiry - a far cry from the simple keyword-based engines that power our current inquiries. Powerset is currently in the public beta-testing phase, and you're encouraged to take it for a test drive.

Admin on May 13, 2008 03:14PM Hmm... that site seems to only be a mirror of Wikipedia's content with a custom search engine slapped on top. I seached for "Core 2 Quad Overclocking" and was sent to the generic Intel Core 2 page as the first result :(. Meanwhile, the same search on Google returns OCC as its number 2 result. I think Google has the more accurate result here hehe. reply to this

razor on May 13, 2008 03:34PM I wont disagree with you - but I think it's important to remember that this engine just entered its first public beta. I'll be keeping track of developments and reporting as necessary. :) reply to this
