SemantiFind Search Enhancement Technology Now Available for All Major Search Engines

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Semanti Corp., a Web services provider offering 'find' technology to enhance search engine results, today announced a new version which now works with Yahoo! and Microsoft Live Search in addition to Google. The upgrade also has a new, easier-to-use, more intuitive user interface that was implemented in response to early adopters' feedback. SemantiFind leverages a unique ontology and semantic search capability to help users find more relevant results of search inquiries faster than traditional solutions, all while using their preferred search engines and methodologies.

Given the dominating combined market share of Google, Yahoo! and Microsoft Live Search, SemantiFind is now available to enhance more than 90% of all searches conducted on the Internet. Consumers can download and install the free browser plug-in at http://www.semantifind.com and go to their search engine of choice. They simply type in their search query as they always have, with one noticeable difference: SemantiFind helps users to specify the exact meaning of their search terms. As a result, users receive results that match what they mean rather than what they say, without needing to dramatically alter their typical search behavior. Additionally, SemantiFind results are displayed alongside native search engine results, offering customers a vast array of well-organized and easy-to-peruse options.

"We have developed a new, much-needed way of finding information on the Internet. SemantiFind understands the meaning of words and therefore only returns highly relevant results," said Bruce Johnson, CEO of Semanti Corp. "With SemantiFind, people can continue using their preferred search engines and therefore hardly notice the difference -- except, of course, when it comes to the results."

In addition to understanding a user's search terms, SemantiFind understands that there are many different ways that people can choose to say the same thing. SemantiFind encourages users to type things the way that they want and then does all the hard work of tying the requests together. SemantiFind knows that 'Store', 'Shop' and 'Retailer' generally mean the same thing so regardless of which search term the user chooses, SemantiFind will ensure that the user gets the best results.

Semantify the Web

SemantiFind offers a semantic approach to finding information as it understands the meaning and relationship of words. It further builds a repository of Web pages people find useful. As users begin typing into the search bar, they can pre-define exactly what information they want to retrieve through SemantiFind's drop-down list containing more than eight million of terms along with their definitions. Once people find pages they like, they can indicate quality results with a simple click of the 'Semantify' button. People can further choose to automatically 'Semantify' their most popular Web pages, like a virtual bookmark. 'Semantified' pages are included as part of the user's future searches, making it easy to find valuable information again.

Each Semantified page also becomes available to the SemantiFind community, enriching everyone's search experience. SemantiFind prioritizes pages that were 'Semantified' by a user's invited friends above those of the rest of the community because they are likely to be more relevant. This approach uses the 'wisdom of the crowds' to sort out the relevant pages from the inappropriate.
