India Company Sobha Renaissance Information Technology announced the launch of iCognue, its search engine powered by contextual search technology that can plug into any basic search engine, including Yahoo and Google. The algorithm itself, LMai was launched and announced last year. SRIT is first crawling and indexing encyclopedia portals on the web to test the technology, and aims to eventually expand to crawl, index and offer contextual search of the entire Web. SRIT hopes that iCognue will pave the way for search to transcend beyond keyword search, where results revolve around the larger context of the typed keyword. SRIT plans to make money through advertising with hopes to commercialize the search technology on a global level.
Paglo Launches Public Test Of Its Search Engine for IT
Palo Alto-based startup Paglo yesterday launched a product in beta test form that gives IT professionals the ability to search for information about a network, its devices or its users. Paglo was developed to help answer security, operations or networking questions, and is a hosted solution, accessible from any location. IT departments need only install the open source Paglo crawler that will send indexed data to Paglo’s servers, where they are held in a designated silo, avilable for searching. In addition to simple keyword search, users can set up Google Alert-like notifications for when certain changes occur within a network. Search queries can be saved as tables, graphs or lists and displayed alongside each other on a dashboard for quick viewing or sharing through a built in community. The service will remain completely free through at least the Summer, after which it will be sold on a subscription basis.
