One year anniversary!

November 7th, 2011

Yes, it has been a year since Copernic joined the PG Solutions, which is part of the N. Harris Computer Corporation.

The integration has been successfully completed and the evaluation of this Copernic milestone can be described as an overall success.

In reflecting on the one-year anniversary, Joël Villeneuve, Vice-President, Sales & Marketing had the following remark: With Copernic acquisition, PG Solutions added great products to its portfolio while getting introduced in a global market. However, the most important thing, we’ve added very talented people. With this combination, we expect great success for the coming years.

With the marketplace demanding more complex search solutions combined with the resource availability of N. Harris Computer Corporation, Copernic is in very good hands to deliver innovative solutions in the near future.

Where is search going?

March 16th, 2011

With the amount of information created and saved every day, people need tools to organize their life. Currently, major search engines work mainly on ranking algorithms. What’s the goal of a search engine?

It is to provide users with the most relevant results for each searched terms.

Keyword-based search engine do work but up to a certain point. What happens if you need to perform a sub-sequent search on that initial search results? What happens if you are searching for the word Apple? However, you are not searching for the fruit but the company.

That’s where the semantic search comes in. Semantic search will improve the search result by understanding the user search behaviors and the searchable database. In other words, it will create a web of connection between the search behavior and the databases.

Will we see new search engines connecting user-identified searchable data?
