No longer are Asian language users confined to queries outside of their native languages. With the ValueStream multi-byte search engine, Asian language users can now search Asian language sites like they never could before. There is a growing need for search tools to support users whose primary language is not English, according to IPO's President Willy C. Wong. Simply take a look at most webpages created in Asia today.
Many Asian sites consists of a mixture of English and Asian language documents.
The ValueStream search engine is intelligent enough to sort through both languages. Results from the search queries are returned in a weighted and sorted format. Very often, keyword searches are not robust enough to find what the user is looking for. Searches done by topic and phrase tend to be more natural to user of Asian languages. Another key feature of the ValueStream search engine is its advanced word segmentation and tagging features.
