About Lexxe News and Press Steve Bass Comments on Lexxe Source: PC World Website: http://blogs.pcworld.com/tipsandtweaks/archives/001088.html Date: Nov. 30th, 2005
Steve Bass, an influential computer commentator for PC World (world's largest computer magazine) and author on computer technology, recently wrote about his experience with Lexxe Search Engine. The article was entitled "Nifty New Web Search Sites". He wrote, "It seems like every week I discover another way to do an Internet search. For instance, I just found Lexxe, an ask-a-question site that would have made a good addition to a short piece I did on sites that promise answers to your natural language questions. (Search Sites Try to Give Instant Answers) Lexxe did well on the same questions I used in the article. I tried it just now, asking Where is Antarctica, and it provided both specific links as well as a list of topic clusters. The only problem? The site's ponderously slow." Also on Nov. 30th, 2005, Sydney Morning Herald had a piece of review on Lexxe by commentator Seamus Byrne: Another hopeful entrant to the search-engine market, Lexxe lets you request information through "natural language" questions, similar to the long-running Ask Jeeves engine. The stand-out element to Lexxe is its ability to draw out an answer to a simple question from its search results. Sometimes it can't quite pin it down, but responses are formatted with a "clusters" list on the left-hand side of the page, which has the potential to answer your question as well. Our results were mixed: some test questions got good results, others were very strange. In general, the shorter the question the better. How long is a piece of string? Lexxe gave a definitive answer of "60cm". |
