- Product Description
- Kosmix Search has developed algorithms and technology that solve a complex engineering problem: categorizing the entire Web into understandable categories, such as women’s health and adventure travel. We change the search experience in two ways: Kosmix frees searchers from the tyranny of the top 10 results, enabling them to explore the Web around their search topic guided by Kosmix categories. Kosmix enables “flavored” search. A soccer mom can have a tailored, full-scale search engine that delivers family-friendly results.
- Market Opportunity
- Nielsen NetRatings shows the overall $5 billion search market growing 5% from the first quarter to second quarter of 2005. Double-digit growth was achieved by smaller players Ask and AOL. Vertical search grew in the double digits for Google and Yahoo, faster than general search overall.
- DEMO Says
- Algorithmically categorizing the content of the Web is the Holy Grail of search engineers. Cosmix takes a big step toward that end with a new approach to crawling, indexing and categorizing the Web. The result is a better search experience for consumers and more relevant placements for paid listing advertisers.
