Accoona Goes Against the Big Search Engines

Accoona Goes Against the Big Search Engines

Harry Chen, 11:51am 8 December 2004

Accoona is a new search engine company with a lot of business buzz. According to this CNN news article, this new engine is endorsed by the formal President Bill Clinton and has close relationship with China.

So, how Accoona is different from other search engines? “The company said it is using artificial intelligence technology to derive the meaning of words typed into a search.” It has two key features: a business profile search and a so-called SuperTarget feature.

“The business profile search is interesting. It allows users to type in a corporate name and next to the search results is a box that you can click on to get pertinent information (such as contact info, annual sales and company size) without leaving the search results page.

The SuperTarget function is also noteworthy. It enables users to rank specific keywords more highly than others. For example, if you do a search for “Yankees + Giambi + steroids”, you then have an option of clicking on one of those keywords to find more relevant results.”
