Another Semantic Search Engine Enters Fray – PC World
Following the recent launch of Microsoft’s Bing, along with products such as Wolfram Alpha, another search engine has entered the market, hoping to take on Google by delivering what it calls ‘human-like’ results. Yebol.com launched last week, and uses semantic-search technology to deliver categorised results.
At launch, Yebol can provide categorised results for more than 10 million search terms. According to the company it intends to provide results for ‘every conceivable search term’ in the next three to six months.
Yebol uses a combination of algorithms and human knowledge to build a revolutionary web directory for each search term. The Yebol engine clusters search results into groups of term-specific categories.
According to Yebol‘s press release, the search engine offers related topics with categories. it claims that the Yebol engine is more abstract, introducing top sites and categories. Yebol also promises inside links and insider topics for each web page, expanded searches, images and videos.
I keep wondering if this will help take down Google’s dominance in the search engine war? I think it might, I have to say that cloud computing and security measures with Google is what is shying me away from Google, if security measures are not what they are supposed to be, then why put your sensitive material online, that’s why I like my material on my own local machine.
