Who needs to search?

from the show-me-the-path dept

At midnight tonight (GMT) Autonomy are going to make Kenjin available to the public, "what is Kenjin ?", you ask. It's supposed to be the answer to everyone's internet searching dreams. It should, essentially be a search bot with better pattern recognition (based on bayesian mathematics). Unfortunately, I have a feeling search engines still have a long life ahead of them as search bots of today don't seem that much more advanced.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    Search Engines in general...........

    I use actually prefer CoperNic(c)...IF i have time, most of the time it is to yahoo [for big pages], then altavista....THEN google. Search Engines in generall will NOT work unless some changes are made. ONE: Do not search Message Boards, if someone mentions an abstract idea that you are searching for....you are doomed looking through threads with NO links. TWO: Some dot.coms have a hostname fix. Arg. I search for Viper Hack [for the game] and come up with viper.hacks.thesitethatsucks.com Click here. They somehow [in realtime or before] take key words and use it in their domain..linking to ADs and gar-bage. THREE: To make it easier for me...search for products...ONLY on .coms. No /~username....I don't want to see some 7th grader selling stuff on geocities.....
