Sagoon: Good Results Search Engine

January 29, 2009

India is jumping on the search engine bullet train. Sagoon.com is up and running in a beta version. Using its custom spider, the engine taps semantic search and natural language processing. Sagoon gets its results from its own index, Yahoo Boss, and other larger search companies. (Google?) Just like Yahoo! and others, Sagoon.com offers news, web, directory, classifieds, etc. The company is also hard at work on a digital advertising system, though right now it’s making use of Google Sponsored Links. A search showed comparable results with Google, though not identical and not near as numerous: Sagoon, 2,118,192; Google, 8,360,000. It’s info boiled down without Google’s bells and whistles. “Sagoon” derives it name from the Sanskrit word “Shakuna”, which means “auspicious or ushering good results”. That’s got to be good luck, right? It will probably need it, the GOOG already has a presence at http://www.google.co.in/. The goslings at Beyond Search have added this system to our watch list. Updates as we get them.
