Unless you are ready to get your hands dirty with the semantic side of search, I would focus on creating a more enjoyable and emotionally appealing experience for a particular demographic of consumers. Maybe teens, students, mothers, whatever...focus on building a loyal, targeted user base.
Otherwise you run the risk of just being a couple cool features that the big boys can use as inspiration for their own work.
- matt1 17y agoPowerSet comes to mind. How hard was it to do what they did? (I know nothing about semantic search with the exception of what it is.)
- jdrock 17y agoIt's hard. Natural language processing and semantic analysis is a fairly deep field of knowledge. One evidence of its complexity is PowerSet itself. PowerSet launched with just being able to search Wikipedia. Wikipedia is a highly, highly structured body of text that is much, much easier for NLP and semantic technology to analyze. Taking the same technology to the garbled soup that is the web is a whole different ballgame.
