Inc. MetaStar Search searches and retrieves information from any number of different information sources. MetaStar Search provides users with the ability to quickly and accurately find information from a number of sources directly from their desktop. As you may have experienced, it is difficult to find what you are looking for when presented with thousands of results that match your search request. Since most Web search services rely solely on the examination of unstructured textual information, they can not accurately locate the relevant information. Current search tools use the shotgun approach.
Every item matching a search term is returned.
MetaStar Search is a significant departure from existing search methods in that it uses a rifle approach. Rather than requesting information the old way, MetaStar Search puts the power in the user's hands. Users specify information sought, and initiate searches from their Web browser. Searches are executed against ISO 23950 compliant servers around the world. MetaStar Search uses an open search protocol, which allows simultaneous searches of any number of servers.
