Kumo the New search engine by Microsoft
Tuesday, March 3, 2009
Kumo is the new buzz around the internet world these days .So far we have serach engines like google do search queries based on the matching of the words with the content in the website. These words are taken from the search box and then starts the search which looks a match of that particular word.
Microsoft is comning with totally unique strategy in search. A Kumo.com search engine being privately tested by Microsoft workers is reportedly based on semantic technology that enables it to understand sentences and relationships between words.
According to Microsoft Live Search general manager Mike Nichols , he said "Our hope is that our employees will give us great feedback on our new features and that it all becomes part of the external experience soon.""Our hope is that our employees will give us great feedback on our new features and that it all becomes part of the external experience soon."
Well if the KUMO is launched perfectly on to internet market after the testing phase we need to watch that will microsoft replaces the "live search " with "kumo.com".
I thinks this kind of search strategy is very helpful for the people. Usually people donot find the exact information what they want for which they have typed as the search engine looks only for the matching words not the relation. Well Kumo sounds Cool . If its succeeded then its a new milestone achieved by the microsoft in internet maket which they were strugling to come up.Well Microsoft is coming with lots of things and we need to keep an eye on IE8 which is going to be launched soon!!!
