: is using Yahoo’s BOSS technology to accelerate its advanced QDEX (query detection and extraction) technology. The Yahoo data is being combined with Hakia’s own crawled data, and then indexed and ranked by Hakia.

And of course, it will extend Yahoo’s advertising footprint across the web.

Can search starts ups like Cuil beat Google on their own?

I personally feel it is a nice set of ideas, but I am not sure if it will succeed in its current form. It’s actually too early to predict how they will perform in the long run. They have their secret sauce and so do many others. May the best secret sauce win!

We will be launching a new generation of search in two to three months. I can’t give you too many details now, but search is going to move in a completely new direction.

Users don’t really want to search. They want to spend time on their work, personal lives and entertainment. They come to search engines only to get their tasks done. We will move search to this new paradigm of getting the task done....
