Hakia Semantic Search
http://www.hakia.com/ Hakia Semantic Search Taps Librarians for More Credible Results "Hakia has been around for a while, offering users a place to find what they call a verified, social, semantic search engine. Not only do you get a form of semantic search, the folks at Hakia go a bit further and verify the results as well. This has been the case for those engaging in health searches using Hakia’s social semantic search engine.", Today's search engines bring popular results via statistical ranking methods but a popular Web site may not always be credible, and a credible Web site may not always be popular. As a result, searchers suffer in many ways ranging from wasted search time to using misleading information. Hakia’s semantic technology provides a new search experience that is focused on quality, not popularity. hakia’s quality search results satisfy three criteria simultaneously: They (1) come from credible Web sites recommended by librarians, (2) represent the most recent information available, and (3) remain absolutely relevant to the query. |

Snap
http://www.snap.com/ Snap is a very different way of searching, one we suspect will take a bit of getting used to. As you can imagine, we've done a ton of usability testing in developing Snap and here's what we've learned: while Snap isn't complicated, it is a different way of searching in which a little bit of orientation goes a long way to increasing satisfaction. So, we've tried to help introduce ourselves to you in a number of ways. We believe the visual display of data along with text is better than text alone. Users can better judge a result to be good for their search if they see it rather than read it. When Snap returns results, we show you a preview of the result. |

ixquick .. meta seach engine
http://www.ixquick.com/ ixquick .. meta seach engine Ixquick is a metasearch engine: when you search Ixquick, you are searching many popular search engines at the same time. Combined, these engines cover more of the Internet than any one search engine covers. An Ixquick result is awarded one star () for every search engine that chooses it as one of the ten best results for your search. So a five star () result means that five search engines agreed on the result. This is significant because search engines choose results in different ways, and each approach works well in some cases and poorly in others. A result with many stars was chosen for many different reasons, and is a consensus choice of many search engines. Search in any of 18 languages - even Chinese, Japanese and Korean. In each language, Ixquick metasearches local and international search engines so you'll find exactly what you're searching for. |

How Do Search Engines Handle Chinese Queries
http://www.webology.ir/2005/v2n3/a17.html How Do Search Engines Handle Chinese Queries? This article explores the characteristics of the Chinese language and how queries in this language are handled by different search engines. Queries were entered in two major search engines (Google and AlltheWeb) and two search engines developed for Chinese (Sohu and Baidu). Criteria such as handling word segmentation, number of retrieved documents, and correct display and identification of Chinese characters were used to examine how the search engines handled the queries. The results showed that the performance of the two major search engines was not on a par with that of the search engines developed for Chinese. |
