If its XEROX, it must be an innovation. After all, they invented the first PC, GUI etc..

Looks very interesting.

WOW GREAT FIND - to see POWERSET is using XEROX /

- wonder if XEROX got 20-30% of them for lifetime licensing deal…

- if so - this would prove powerset - doesn’t have its own product / and everything Techcrunch has said - was just promoting a false front …

The inventor of the Graphical User Interface now may re-invent the search… how ironic

1) Your avg consumer has a hard time Xerox with the copier concept.

2) History repeating itself would be Microsoft, Yahoo or Apple nixxing a product that THEN goes to ‘G’ heights

Love the comment about Steve Jobs Duncan, that is so true.

So it sounds more like a tool for their legal team than anything. This is kind of scarey. I know that a lot of companies count on their legal departments for an overall percentage of the company’s revenue, but announcing a tool like this is a clear message that the dogs are loose. Better watch out!

“Xerox Litigation Service” formally known as “Amici” formally known as “ProductivityNet”. Still run by a convicted felon who is buddy buddy with David Boise (yes, that David Boise). Sounds like there is more to the story.

xerox has it right - domain- and task-specific search based on actual research and algorithms, and no silly social networking garbage. can’t say if it will work, but at least they have an actual application concept. and no “steve jobs” character will “steal” the idea because it’s not new. I know TC is all about hyping things it doesn’t really understand, but steve jobs and google in one sentence? that’s overdoing it, methinks.

It would not be practical to have this technology on the general web - IT IS EXTREMELY resource demanding.

Which means that individual webpage updates would have to wait many months after being spidered.

And fewer sites would be added to the database

Perhaps this is the Web search technology of a few decades from now as hi tech improves

Other firms are already doing what Xerox is launching - this search technology is basically being used by large law firms

Does anyone know of a search engine that allows user ratings?

Seems like I would get better results if I could vote for which results were most relevant.

I guess I vote by clicking on a listing, but that doesn’t give me an option to tell the search engine what I was looking for if a desired listing isn’t there.

Thanks for the info. I still reckon google will be the major search engine for years yet.

“Whilst it sounds appealing, FactSpotter…”

There is something distinctly unappealing about that name I think.
