Autonomy may become the Terminator of traditional search

The existing search technology is difficult to meet such search requirements, such as "What is the cheapest laptop", "Can the Chinese team win the World Cup", and "What are the most popular IT news events this month.
The above search requirements expose the weakness of the existing search technology: the search technology based on the keyword full-text search theory cannot meet some "fuzzy requirements" in many aspects ", the number of these "fuzzy requirements" is far greater than that of "precise requirements ".
Autonomy was born to supplement calcium in this weakness. Autonomy is synonymous with a new search theory, a company name, and a product name. According to Autonomy's current spread, it is likely to become the Terminator of several traditional search sects.
It can be said responsibly that a rumor after New Year's Day this year will be the same as a message last year, which will cause serious vigilance among search giants such as Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft.
Autonomy "sample project" Blinkx
In July 2004, a startup company in San Francisco launched a new search tool Blinkx, which provides features similar to "fuzzy search" or "semantic search. That is to say, after the system "learns" and accumulates some "experience", it can meet users' search needs like "What is the cheapest laptop.
Some media call this search method "Divination" or "functional search". The company that provides Blinkx search tools is also called Blinkx.
Blinkx not only searches for text content, but also multimedia content such as movies and TVs. It not only searches for Internet content, but also searches for content on local machines and local networks. Blinkx can also search for different Text formats, such as Text, Word, Excel, PPT, PDF, and data formats in various databases.
Blinkx also released two service tools to provide this new search function. One is the portal website (www.blinkx.com) and the other is the client software that can be downloaded from the website, the software size is about 7 MB. Although these two tools currently only support both English and German languages and are only beta versions, their shocking features have begun to attract the attention of traditional search giants.
Unlike traditional search websites, if you type user commands such as "CDMA" in the Blinkx search box, the results may be automatically classified into 10 categories by the system, there may be a large distance between the nine types of queries and the user's expectation. Then, the user can use the result that is close to each other as the query condition to perform the second query and complete the "advanced" query, this method is used to gradually approach the target and finally achieve the expected query results.
If the client software of Blinkx is installed, a small menu window will appear in the upper right corner of almost all document processing Windows Word, Outlook and so on. When a user processes a document in these windows, the system automatically analyzes the document and then automatically crawls related articles or links from the local machine or on the network for your reference. In addition, it can also provide news, product information, video content and other classified information related to the content of the article in a timely manner. Simply put, you can use an article as a "query keyword". By analyzing this article, Blinkx provides the network link or local document closest to the content of this article. This will undoubtedly provide great convenience for individuals and enterprises who need to process a large amount of data.
