Alcuni flash – Custom search engine What are they? search engines that only show results from selected websites (that publish useful and trustworthy content) Google Coop Have a website or collection of sites you’d like to search over? With Custom Search Engine, you can harness the power of Google to create a search engine tailored to your needs. http://www.google.com/coop/cse/ Yahoo! Search BOSS The main goal and idea of BOSS is to give users, in this case developer’s free access to the Yahoo! Search index. The results can be supplied into the developer’s website or program so that they can manipulate the resources according to their product’s requirements. BOSS allows the results to be returned back in XML, JSON, HTML, text and also allows the comprehensive search feature allowed in Yahoo like pulling the results by pages, searching inside PDF, etc. The ranking of the websites for a search term is same as the Yahoo! Search ranking since both of these are pulling from the same index and same ranking. http://developer.yahoo.com/search/boss/

Alcuni flash – Costum seach engine Differenze Google richiede di mettere il proprio logo Google non permette di mixare i propri risultati con altri L’unico modo di fare soldi con Google Coop è usandolo insieme a Adsense L’accesso programmativo (risultati in XML) a Google Coop è possibile solo se si è registrati come business users Con un’istanza di Google Coop si può cercare in al massimo 5000 siti L’iniziativa di Yahoo! Sempra decisamente più aperta e flessibile

Alcuni flash – Yet Another Meta search engine Kosmix is a guide to the Web. Key idea The site lets users explore the Web by topic, presenting a dashboard of relevant videos, photos, news, commentary, opinion, communities and links to related topics. Kosmix’s categorization engine organizes the Internet into magazine-style topic pages, enabling people to navigate the Web even if they don’t know exactly what they’re looking for. Business development Kosmix began as a vertical search engine, initially introducing health site www.RightHealth.com as a proof-of-concept for the Kosmix approach to Web navigation. RightHealth is now the #2 health site on the Web, according to Hitwise. In June 2008, Kosmix expanded its focus from vertical to a complete horizontal play.

Alcuni flash – AI will be with us in May Wolfram|Alpha (http://www.wolframalpha.com/) is a "computational knowledge engine" for the Web. It may be as important for the Web (and the world) as Google, but for a different purpose. It's not a "Google killer" -- it does something different. It's an "answer engine" rather than a search engine. Basically it means that you can ask it factual questions and it computes answers for you. It doesn't return documents that (might) contain the answers, like Google Hand written pages like the Wikipedia. parse natural language and then use that to retrieve documents, like Powerset Instead, Wolfram Alpha actually computes the answers to a wide range of questions "What is the location of Timbuktu?" "How many protons are in a hydrogen atom?“ "What was the average rainfall in Boston last year?“ "What is the 307th digit of Pi?“ "what would 80/20 vision look like?“ Source http://www.twine.com/item/122mz8lst-4b/wolfram-alpha-is-coming-and-it-could-be-as-important-as-google
