New search engine 'revolutionary'

A 26-year-old PhD student from the University of New South Wales has patented a new way of exploring the web that could revolutionise existing search engines.

Developed by Ori Allon, the Orion© search engine is designed to complement searches conducted on services such as Google, Yahoo or MSN Search.

Search engines find pages on which keywords occur. Sometimes these pages are important to the topic. Other times they are not.

Orion© finds pages where the content is about a topic strongly related to the key word. It then returns a section of the page, and lists other topics related to the key word so the user can pick the most relevant.

"The results to the query are displayed immediately in the form of expanded text extracts, giving you the relevant information without having to go to the website - although you still have that option if you wish," said Israeli-born Allon, who completed a Bachelor and Masters degree at Monash University in Melbourne before moving to UNSW for his PhD.

"By displaying results to other associated key words directly related to your search topic, you gain additional pertinent information that you might not have originally conceived, thus offering an expert search without having an expert's knowledge.

"Take a search such as the American Revolution as an example of how the system works. Orion© would bring up results with extracts containing this phrase. But it would also give results for American History, George Washington, American Revolutionary War, Declaration of Independence, Boston Tea Party and more. You obtain much more valuable information from every search."

The idea of finding information without having to click through to websites came from Allon's supervisor, Eric Martin, back in March this year. "I provided the spark. But it is Ori who has developed this through his amazing creativity and sheer hard work over these past months," said Mr Martin.

Andrew Stead of New South Innovations, the technology transfer company within UNSW, says he is confident that Orion© will fill a gap in the market noted by Microsoft founder Bill Gates.

"Bill Gates was recently quoted in Forbes magazine as saying that we need to take the search way beyond how people think of it today. We believe that Orion© will do that."

Allon said some big companies already had shown some initial interest in implementing Orion © for commercial use.

interesting... no matter to technology it will take years, if ever to knock google out of the number 1 in search.

When will it be out to try, it will sure go through many factors of marketing strategy to get along with Google.

 

Marketing for a new search engine would be very difficult if possible at all unless it is a very effective search accuracy solution

 

Well done. Added Rep.

 

Any have nice article found.

 

Long way to go! Goodluck !

 

heard the creator of orion search was hired by google...so no threat for google

 

Actually, there are lots of ongoing research in california, india and china about revolutionizing search.

 

A lot of SEs including 'Cuil' have tried to show relevant description snippet along with search results. This might make the search experience better

 

Cuil is not up to any competition for any search engine. Though they show off that they have 120 billion pages indexed. None of the search terms gives you even thousand results. It is hence quite understandable that Cuil is bluffing all about it. Also, several of the top pages and blogs are not there in Cuil index. You won't find anything you want to. It is I guess a search engine searching specific pages they are secretly affiliated to. That low is index volume.

 

interesting information...there are actually lots of them coming

 

it would be nice to give google some competition, but I can't see that happening in the near future

 

this is really nice article but to beat google one has to get his good quality search points

 

googld is good

 

Good work. how will i add my websites in this search engine?

 

i just hear this news, so you can get more info from google.
