- Kumo: Based on Powerset Technology
-
This article indicates that Kumo is based on Powerset technology MS acquired last year. The article talks quite a bit about the Kumo - Powerset connection. The following are quotations from the article:
'Microsoft Corp. has confirmed that it is testing a new search engine, called Kumo, that's based on technology from its Powerset acquisition and is likely to be an early version of a soon-to-be-rebranded Live Search product.
.
.
.
Though it would not specifically confirm this move, the company said that the Kumo engine being tested "shows a number of technologies in development and is a very early internal preview of directions we're exploring" for its search engine.
"While the experience will improve significantly, we believe it is leading us in the direction of a next-generation search engine built to meet customers' unmet needs -- an engine that delivers fast, organized and differentiated results that can help people make more informed decisions," Microsoft said.'
Hopefully the above will make a substantial difference in the core quality of Live searches. - Posted by: P. Douglas Posted on: 03/13/09 (Edited: 03/13/2009 @ 03:11) You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
