X1 Extracts Search Patent
June 26, 2008
X1 Technologies in Pasadena, Calif., has been “innovating” (X1;’s word, not mine) search solutions since 2003. The company has patented an enterprise search solution touted to be quick and efficient that uses an advanced technique to find search results even as you’re typing your query. X1 calls the innovation “fast-as-you-type” search, and it narrows results as you keep typing. With this patent, X! wants to make their mark and assert themselves in the enterprise search market with their X1 Enterprise Search Suite. The suite searches over 400 applications file types across PCs and servers alike. The company has more patents pending, trying to build on this idea; the firm’s plan is to change how search is “done”, not just to make search faster.
