Hakia Changes Results Display
February 15, 2010
Short honk: I learned that Hakia has revamped its results display in a write up called “Hakia Servers Up Comprehensive Universal Search in a New Design.” My recollection is that Google also uses the phrase Universal Search, but I may be muddling which search vendor uses which buzzword.
Interface is getting quite a bit of attention. I think part of the push is a response to Microsoft Bing’s user experience push. The other motivating factor is that search results are not that much different to most searchers. With Google getting about 70 percent of the search traffic, the other Web search folks have to find an angle. Hakia, the semantic search company, displays text search results, images and videos. The company includes categories to allow filtering with a click. I find the new interface interesting. i ran a number of test queries and found the results useful. Now the task is marketing and building traffic. Give Hakia a spin.
