Search Net with conversational language

Powerset, a two-year-old company has licensed so called natural language processing technology, developed over three decades at the legendary XEROX Corp PARC Research Centre in Silicon Valley, to create consumer web search services. This will help people to search in web by using colloquial language instead of keywords as presently done by google and Yahoo. Powerset opened its site on 17th September 2007, Monday for public testing of the technology.This technology could change the way we do searching on the net, the ease of doing it will increase manifolds. The specificity of the search will also be astonishing. Instead of getting millions of search results we will get definite findings. If this venture succeeds, Google and Yahoo should upgrade themselves soon otherwise the first and second market-leader should prepare to settle for a new position southward
