Nepalese launch new Internet search engine

Two Nepalese Americans have founded a new search engine that integrates processes and provides information in a user-friendly interface and aims to attract users in a unique way.

Sagoon, (sagoon.com) based in Washington DC, has released the beta version of its new search engine for public testing.

The key idea behind the Sagoon technology – "Word Space 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.

Sagoon was founded by two IT professionals Mr. Govinda Giri and Mr. Shiba Dhakal with technology development done by Elixir Web Solutions, a New Delhi based interactive media and Technology Company. nepalnews.com Jan 30 09
