Semanti Smart Social Search Helps Individuals More Easily Find, Retrieve and Share Relevant Information through Personal Search, Social Search and Better Search "Semanti is a unique blend of social search, personal search and better search powered by an easy-to-use method of specifying the exact meaning of your search terms," said Social Search Finding and sharing information important to individuals and the people they trust--their friends--has never been easier with Semanti and Facebook Connect. A user simply downloads the free Semanti plug-in and invites their social network members to do so as well. Using their preferred search engines like Google, Microsoft Bing and Yahoo!, friends click on links they find relevant to their inquiries. Then when an individual conducts a search based on a specific topic, the friends' results and recommendations appear at the top of their search engine results marked as being endorsed by their Facebook friends. For example, a user searching for a new restaurant will benefit from seeing which restaurants their Facebook friends have researched and saved. A restaurant recommended by a friend has far more relevance to an individual than one that shows up in a general web search. Personal Search New easy-to-use Semanti tools like MyWeb create a personal search engine experience. When users find a page they like, they simply click on a button to save it so it is easy to find again later. Unlike bookmarks or favorites, MyWeb stores the entire page's text along with the user's search terms. Later, when the user is searching for the page again, they can find it using their preferred search engine-Semanti will search the text on the user's saved pages as well as the search terms originally used to find those pages and then display matching results above the usual search engine results. Because the pages are saved by Semanti, the user can access them from any computer without having to worry about whether or not their bookmarks or favorites are on located on a particular computer. Better Search Semanti improves the overall search experience through its innovative and unique semantic-based search methodology. Semanti Suggest(TM) helps users specify the exact meaning of their search terms via a drop-down menu. As a result, users receive results that match what they mean rather than what they say, eliminating ambiguity. Semanti also knows there are many different ways that people can say the same thing. Semanti understands that 'Store', 'Shop' and 'Retailer' generally mean the same thing so regardless of which search term the user chooses, Semanti will ensure that the user receives the best results. Once individuals find a result they like, that person simply clicks on a button to save the page, marking it as relevant. Each approved web page becomes available to the Semanti community, enriching everyone's search experience. This approach uses the 'wisdom of the crowds' to sort out the relevant pages from the inappropriate. Consumers can download and install the free browser plug-in at www.semanti.com.
