An entirely new way to search – using context to add relevance

* Users search “at the point of inspiration,” from the page they are reading
* Add it to your site to give users convenient, related searches
* Quick, easy and free!

  • Are related Ads really more effective?
  • YAHOO! Maps out of Beta – covering Europe too
  • Microsoft Live Search & Windows 7 @ CES 2009 Las Vegas
  • MSN Launched Local Search in Germany – in Cooperation with Suchen.de

      hi diane

      it’s hard to tell that exactly cause different companies have different explanations to that. Basically a beta search is a service that still has bugs or known restrictions (e.g. is not yet fully stable and scaleable, is missing feautres defined in the technical product specs etc.)
      A meta-search /from my point of view/ is a service that gathers results from various search-engines based on your querie and than displays them on the search-engine-result-pages.
