Search Wars Episode II. Yebol a new search!

One of my recent post discussed the dawn of the new era and new breed of search engines Search Wars.

YEBOL
a youngling from the the Stanford stable, a new search in the block.
Yebol's mission is to build human-like world's knowledge base and provide knowledge based search (semantics) and services.

Yebol utilizes a combination of patented algorithms paired with human knowledge to build a Web directory for each query and each user. Instead of the common “listing” of Web search queries, Yebol automatically clusters and categorizes search terms, Web sites, pages and contents.

Yebol allows for a multi-dimensional search result instead of the normal one-dimensional search seen by most web search engines today. This provides a more accurate summary of top sites and categories; a wider array of related search terms; a longer and richer expansion for query results; and a deeper base of links and keywords in search result pages.

Unlike current search platforms, Yebol provides hundreds of easily identified and accessibly categorized results in one easily navigable page. The results not only provide users with a rich search experience, but also help them quickly scan the results to find targeted information. In essence, generate a unique “homepage look” for each search query.

Yebol provides a productive experience for both main types of search – general investigation of a topic and specific target search. For users who want to research and explore a topic, Yebol provides rich information from several dimensions. For users who want a specific type of targeted results, they can quickly focus on their category and navigate to the target.

A search for APOE, top most hit (first) gave a expanded definition Apolipoprotein E - on Wikipedia. Followed by link to GHR, wikigenes, gene cards, AD genetics fact sheet form NIA.

It also gives live context sensitive Twitter streaming too.

Search Wars

A not very long time ago, in a galaxy near,
very near by....
SEARCH
WARS
Search, Search engines, While the Search engine big wigs fight for a niche in the search engines landscape .... The Google, Yahoo & now Micorsoft too (with their Bing)

There are the Wolfram|Alpha likes that are forming a separatist and slowly gaining power over the Google order. In fact google has managed to bring balance to both with its Google Squared.

While platforms like XTractor, NextBio, Novoseek, GoPubMed, BioMedSearch have specialized in searching biomedical and biological knowledge are even more strengthening the separatists.

Now to see and know who is more powerful, the galactic empire or the separatist? I leave it to the 'Republic' i.e. You users! to judge, in the form of your comments and experiences with such tools and searches! you could even voice your opinions here
