Dynamic SearchTM Interacts With the User and Evolves Over Time.
Dynamic SearchTM - a patented technology - was developed to address the major
problem typically associated with poor search results in Web searching: the
user entering to little information.
As was confirmed at the Search Engine
Strategies Meeting in Boston in April 2001, the average user enters only 2+ words
when doing a Web search and usually looks at only the first 10 results
returned.
Dynamic SearchTM
encourages the user to add words to a query by presenting appropriate synonyms
as well as relevant words or concepts for limiting the search. In addition,
Dynamic SearchTM learns
from the behavior of users by continuously updating synonyms and encouraging
searchers to use terminology contributed by other users.
The Dynamic
SearchTM
assists the user in building a better search initially and encourages more
efficient access to targeted results from a large search set. Over the last few
months, the initial scientific database of synonyms has grown from 50,000 to
more than 220,000, all the result of user input during searching.
search4science
expects that this evolutionary process will continue and that
the quality of the user experience will continue to improve as users suggest
relevant synonyms and limiting words.
The updating of the database involves a patent pending
technology, which combines information from dictionaries, expert advisory
boards, and user input in an interactive process.
Through the Internet it
unites people from all over the world in their search for knowledge, and that
is why we call Dynamic SearchTM a community of
"Brains without Borders."
During the first 4 months of
operation the users of Dynamic SearchTM have added more than 150,000 new
words/phrases to the database.
