Game-Changing Search Engine Technology

SRT seeks to make a radical change in the search engine market. The company is developing a new search engine that hopes to bring searching & indexing back to the original roots of the internet. The company has developed a new set of algorithms and ranking rules to help assist in developing a search engine that is more accurate than the current search engines. The truth is that someone who is searching the Internet isn't interested in how many times a word appears in a page, how close together they were, or how many people linked to the page. They are just looking for sites that have to do with the keywords they typed. All too often, search engines return 50 variations of exactly the same page because the search terms appeared in it or it was linked to by a number of people. Entire industries have sprung up across the Internet to help increase the rankings of sites within the major search indices. Spammers have learned to manipulate the search engines to display their sites for totally unrelated keywords. The major search engines are caught in a war with spammers and site optimizers. The need for a new search engine, new indexing rules and a new look is desperately needed. SRT plans to alleviate these problems plaguing search engines. The company raised its first round of financing in March of 2004 and is planning for a beta release of it's technologies at the end of the summer of 2004. SRT is managed by an accomplished team of executives and is headquartered in Boston, MA.
