ReadWriteWeb.Com Names Lexxe One of the Search Engines Shaping the Future of Search
Date: July 21st, 2006
ReadWriteWeb.Com, a specialised website on next generation web and media by influential technology writer Richard MacManus based on the research work of Ebrahim Ezzy , named Lexxe one of the nine search engines "shaping the future of search" in his article "Search 2.0 vs Traditional Search" published on July 20th, 2006.
Other search engines mentioned are Swicki, Rollyo, Clusty and Wink in the first series of the articles. Four more will be mentioned in the second series later.
The article, in full or part, has since appeared on world technology media with more comments, such as Slashdot, C|Net News.Com, Mokey Bites, etc.
Richard MacManus's comment on Lexxe is as follows:
Lexxe
Lexxe
does what TSE's already do, but more efficiently. Lexxe is designed to extract short
answers on-the-fly, instead of finding the page on which the answer might be located. It
emphasizes the processing of language rather than symbols - using the level of words and
the meanings associated with them.
Key Feature: Linguistic Search
How is it useful compared to TSE (Traditional Search Engine)?: Although they claim to be "50% more accurate and
relevant than any other search engine, including google", I'm not convinced. However,
they do have mechanisms in place to determine fairly accurate answers for short questions,
compared to Google. For example: Who was Louis-Nicholas Vauquelin? Compare
Google's answer to
Lexxe's.
