Competitors
No direct competitors. There are companies who are trying to make search easier in various ways, but none work directly within current search engines nor do they utilize the ‘wisdom of the crowds’ to understand the meaning of Web pages, according to real human beings.
Product Description
SemantiFind is a Web service that enhances the search engine experience. The service works within preferred search engines, and offers a drop-down list to help people select the precise meaning of their search terms – for example, a person could choose ‘Visa’ the travel document instead of ‘Visa’ the credit card. There are over eight million terms and definitions in Semanti’s database. By understanding a user’s meaning, SemantiFind returns more meaningful and relevant information and saves people the hassle of sifting through unwanted pages or reformulating their query to find results that might be buried.
Market Opportunity
With over a trillion Web pages currently available online and new sites being added every day, the internet noise is getting louder. Understanding what each web page is semantically about improves a user’s ability to find what they want and also provides opportunities for advertisers to promote goods and services in a more meaningful context.
DEMO Says
One of the keys to a successful social bookmarking app is intelligence. Does the software understand the Web page you’re bookmarking and why it’s important to you? You may have heard of SemantiFind recently, a browser add-on that semantically tags pages, allowing for more intuitive cataloging and retrieval. Here at DEMOfall, the company is making several interesting announcements, including an open API and search-engine integration, which will include your bookmarks along with standard search results. Keep an eye on SemantiFind in this competitive space.
