Searching for Information is serious Business. On NetAlter
Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Monday, February 27, 2006 - “Present
internet search is far from perfect and increasingly controlled by
monolith corporations whose prime focus is on commercial delivery
instead of accuracy or search relevance.” So says Netalter.com
It does not deliver exacting results and it not possible to know if the
results are current or outdated. The data provide by search results are
read only and the user cannot use it for further analytical research.
Present search engines also search through a fraction of online resources
available on the internet thus excluding a majority of information.
Most search engines require crawling through websites and web pages,
extracting Meta tag information and then index them before making them
available for search.
NetAlter Search is a function of NetAlter which will locate
information with surgical precision. This has been made possible by
defining an artificial intelligent (AI) search algorithm and a
hierarchical clustering of information at the onset.
After 8 years of R&D and over 60 man years of vigorous research, a System
and Method has been developed, that can be truly considered as an
alternate to the current Internet system Netalter
NetAlter Search is a three stage process.
Pre Search
– User will be able to download partial or complete domain specific
taxonomy, ontology, keywords, semantic syntax and other resources.
– Customize multiple AI Agents as per user preferences to aid search and
matching.
Search
– Will allow searching information for a particular date range. The
search results are displayed on the basis of current and historical data.
– NetAlter will search for information on the basis of Semantic
Web technology.
– Display information based on Location, Period and
specific “Fields” based on taxonomy and ontology organization of
data and also search through archived records.
– Will provide “Deep Web Search”, “Wide Search” and “P2P Search”
canvassing through web pages, databases, servers, local personal
computers, directories, thus covering all shared information available on
the NetAlter network.
– Users will be able to lookup the metadata details of the
publishers of information on NetAlter.
– NetAlter search provides a user friendly visual interface in
the form of Search Wizard that aids easy navigation through advanced
search concepts.
– NetAlter does not not require crawling for information as the “Ta=
g”
information is stored at the onset, when the content is published.
The most recently published information is distinctly highlighted.
– The default positioning of information on NetAlter Search
results is based on popularity and relevance of content.
– NetAlter Search provides for search based on multiple terms
or keywords with the search results displayed separately for each term or
keyword.
– Provides for clustered search, which is faster as it does not
require searching through entire NetAlter database; only a clustered data
set.
– Distributed Search option enables locating information from the
nearest search resource including the user’s local database; with a
“refresh” option to retrieve results from the NetAlter server.
– Provides Plug-In Search from within Netalter based applications.
– NetAlter also provides a two-way Search and Match option based on
the user’s profile and aided by pre-defined AI Agents.
Post Search
– Users can save search results to local database via compatible domain
specific NetAlter applications. These applications can be downloaded by
the user and may be available under various licensing options including
free utilities.
– Once the search results are saved in the relevant data structure, the
associated applications can provide analytical comparison, ranking,
tracking, follow up, transaction, etc.
