Interesting. Microsoft would certainly go along way in winning some of my search traffic if they could accurately implement contextually aware searching into their system.
A Kumo.com search engine being privately tested by Microsoft workers is reportedly based on semantic technology that enables it to understand sentences and relationships between words. Current search engines, including software used by Google, rely on matching words typed into search boxes with those found at websites and in data found on the Internet. |
The Internet has buzzed with speculation regarding whether Microsoft intends to replace its Live Search with Kumo since an internal memo written about it by Satya Nadella, a Microsoft senior vice president, was leaked online this week. Microsoft said Tuesday that the memo that ricocheted quickly about the Web "is in fact accurate." |
"...As for rebranding, it's something we're still considering." |
