New Search Engine for business


New business search engine launches
by Anita Jain
Accoona Corp., based in Jersey City, N.J., has launched an Internet search engine that uses artificial intelligence to produce search results.

The first search on Accoona.com was inaugurated Monday evening by former President Bill Clinton at Tavern on the Green in Manhattan. Accoona donated an undisclosed amount to the William J. Clinton Foundation.

Accoona.com will feature business data from 5 million Chinese companies and 10 million U.S. companies, and ultimately from European companies as well. The company received $15 million in angel investment earlier this year and expects to generate between $10 million and $20 million in revenues in its first year of operation. It expects to break even in the first year as well. A big boost for the search engine comes from a tie-up with China Daily Information Co., a government agency that runs an official Chinese and English news site. The agency has agreed to include a toolbar on its home-page portal for 20 years. The Chinese government is one of Accoona’s backers.

I have created a artificial intelligence search engine too (it thinks for you and offers keyword suggestion that you may never have thought of, choices from related synonyms, antonyms, homonyms and thesaurus)! Check out http://www.SirSeek.com where you see the working beta (I am not using our own index of websites YET, our search & seek web fetching bot is still in development, will even retrieve results when none indexed to index). This will index general web sites and pages linked to by those sites, any topic of data will be accepted. I know its got too many affiliate ads (I need the money), I know it doesn't have billions of web pages indexed (YET), I know my internet access provider can be a little slow at time, I know I am not comparable (YET) but I am working on it. Any suggestions are appreciated so I can continue making the World's best search engine (will be better than the rest once complete).

Currently implementing an automatic spelling fixer for common misspellings (will auto fix misspell words with correct ones or give you a choice to select alternate spellings). Also making a business directory (even a separated spam directory so spammers have a place to spam) to be integrated into this next best search engine (example of a directory made by me is http://www.GreyBruce.org (directly/portal I made for my birth town area and community).

I have been making specific topic search engines since 1998 (now moving to a caching, spidering and non topic engine design). Some examples are http://www.whak.com , http://www.canuckster.com , http://www.sparesomechange.com , etc...
