The Power of Semantic Search

August 1, 2012 / Melody Smith / Comments Off on The Power of Semantic Search

According to a South African start-up called Gatfol, search engines get you the results you want 80% of the time. Their new launch is planning on getting you closer to 100%.

We found this interesting information on Memeburn in their article, “Gatfol: Google, Yahoo! and Bing are OK, we can make them better.” Their United States patented semantic search algorithm called Semantic Intelligence Filter Technology (SIFT) is rooted in natural language processing, or NLP. Users can optimize search queries by making them as concise as possible. NLP enhances the interactions between computer and human languages.

Findability is something we can definitely get behind. A comprehensive search system allows for precise and dynamic results. And isn’t that what it is all about?
