Sagoon, a New Web Search Engine, Launches Beta Version
A new search engine that
integrates, processes, and provides information in the most user-friendly
interface, aims to attract users in a unique way.
New Delhi, India, Jan 29, 2009 Sagoon, (www.sagoon.com) based in Washington DC, has released the beta
version of its new search engine for public testing.[view demo]
The Internet is reaching more and more people every day. Millions of
people visit it every second to contribute information or to search for it.
Surfing the Internet has become a part of most everyone’s daily routine. There
is an increasing demand to provide information on the Web in innovative and
user-friendly ways, as well as to provide businesses the opportunity to
flourish online in the most
cost-effective manner. Sagoon was founded by two IT professionals Mr. Govinda
Giri and Mr. Shiba Dhakal with the purpose of fulfilling these goals
The key idea behind the
Sagoon technology – "Random Vector Model” – is to promote semantic search
over the regular lexical search to provide more meaningful information to
users. This is done by analyzing the content of Web data and news documents to
find out hidden similarities among them. The implementation of “semantic
analysis” requires a series of algorithms and mathematical calculations.
The Sagoon’s results cover a number of resources for variety
in the results. The
results are obtained from a combination of Sagoon’s index, Yahoo Boss, and some
of the larger search companies in the online information industry. Search
results organized by ideas and concepts
provide results based on Web page content analysis. Search results also offer
organized features such as tabs to clarify subjects, news display groups, and
the most relevant queries to explore more topics. This helps in guiding the
users to the desired results with just one mouse click.
“We are planning an aggressive
growth for the company and its technology so that we can continue providing the
best search experience on the Web,” says Govinda Giri, founder and chief of
Sagoon Inc. "I have a dream of making Sagoon a world class search engine
with different user experiences. This beta marks our first step towards
eventually creating a diverse direction in searching the Web.”
Sagoon’s various services like Web search, News Search,
Video Search, Directory and Classifieds search are novel approaches towards
storing resources and information from all over the world. Sagoon is also in
the process of developing other niche products with innovative business ideas
and approaches which have not been seen on the market yet.
Elixir
Web Solutions, a New Delhi based interactive media and Technology Company was
selected to develop Sagoon’s technology. “Our company was chosen
to execute this highly ambitious project and our team has lived up to Mr.
Giri’s expectations in developing a world class search engine. In fact, the
portal is much more than just a search engine and the product also contains a
series of sections. In executing this project, we have got a good opportunity to
demonstrate our technical expertise and for continued development, there are
many more exciting features lined up for Sagoon. Mr. Giri is a person with
great vision and I believe Sagoon has the potential to become a market leader” – said Mohit Sareen, Elixir’s Founder and CEO.
Sagoon’s chief developer Manish Kumar says “Our team
approaches Web search differently. By leveraging our expertise in search
architecture and relevance methods, we’ve built a more efficient search engine
which is richer than display keyword search”. He adds, “We are in the process of adding unique features to Sagoon such as
semantic search and natural language processing. This way we will be providing
artificial intelligence which can understand what exactly the user is looking
for, thus offering them the best quality content which they can get on the
Web.”
Features:
Sagoon search engine
features clean Web page half-box layout style that separates results by subject, and allows further search by category. Tabs and group in Web
results clarify search topics displaying the most relevant results.
