I heard about a new company called Powerset that claims to have search technology better than that of the industry leading Google. From looking at their website they claim to have a unique natural language solution to search, which returns much more relevant results to the end user. At the moment their engine isn’t available to try, they’re still in ’stealth’ mode. But the rumor is that they’re selling 1/3 of the company to VC’s for a $10 million investment. They’ve also apparently been hiring a lot of people from Yahoo, so they’re getting the experience in there…
Can they beat Google? Well, there’s always that possibility, Google has only been around for 8 years itself, and wasn’t always the market leader, although you do have to say that Alta Vista was not as deeply entrenched, or had access to the deep pockets that Google has now… Time will tell.
