Kngine: Understanding the Meaning Behind Search

Kngine is a new semantic search engine and Question Answer Engine rolled into one to provide meaningful search results. Its aim is to give smart information by understanding the meaning behind a search query. There are a lot of words and expressions that have multiple-meanings. What Kngine is trying to do is discover such words and provide meaningful information about the referred concepts. It figures out what you’re actually looking for and return search results that it entirely related to your question or query.

Kngine can understand queries like: ‘Brad Bitt Movies, Microsoft Companies Acquired, Football Players, Movies, Museums, Walter Gropius works, Authors’ and provide list of concepts with photos. You can do comparisons between two or many things by simply using ordinary keyword combinations. For example, you can just search in a natural way like “iPhone 3G vs iPhone 3GS” or “Ukraine GDP vs Romania GDP.”

There are many search challenges that Kngine wants to address. Aside from being a semantic search engine, Kngine also wants to provide its users with answers to questions and not only provide search results that contain the keywords stated in a particular question query.

Kngine can’t answer any questions, but I work to enhance this ability by improve the question understanding algorithms, and collect and organize more systematic knowledge and experiences.

Yauba: Search Anonymously

It’s been a while since I’ve heard of a new search engine being released. There are other search tools out there that have made their debut but most of them are just piggybacking on popular ones and aggregating results. Yauba is a new at the search engine scene and is still running on early beta/late alpha preview release. If you’re wondering what this new search engine has to offer its users aside from giving search results, the answer to that would be anonymity.

The Indian based search engine aims to transform the way people find information online, while providing maximum protection for safety, security and privacy. It’s not every day you find a search engine who is not interested in gathering data from its users.

Most search engines try to gather and record as much information about their users as possible. They (or their parent companies) operate massive server farms with even more massive databases that secretly record your entire search history, your private contacts, the identity of your family and friends, your personal emails, your conversations and chats, your browsing habits, your physical location, details on the software you use on your computer, your IP address, and much much more.

At Yauba, we completely reject the view that search engines somehow need to keep mountains of data on their own users. Instead, we take the exact opposite approach. We do everything we can to protect the privacy of our users.

Aside from the total privacy that Yauba is offering, it also takes the semantic approach to search. This simply means that their search engine is more human than others. Semantic means focusing on understanding what the person is searching for rather than comparing keywords and displaying search results based on page rank or page popularity. They clearly stated that they could not care less on how big their index gets and cares more about intelligent search results.

With Yauba, you only need to know how to click a mouse. Yauba does all the hard work for you, by instantaneously auto-extracting, auto-filtering, auto-classifying, auto-refining, auto-categorizing, and auto-suggesting tens of billions of web pages, images, rich media files, and many other file types on your behalf so that you can find the exact information you need in an easy to use manner. Yauba’s dynamic indexing and results ranking algorithm ensures that you receive the most relevant results, even if you have never used a search engine before.
