New search engine wants to deliver concrete results

18 Dec. 2008 | Author: AWo | german

WeFind, a new Web2.0 search service, launched at the end of November 2008.

As delineated by its creators in a press release, the goal of WeFind is to deliver concrete answers and clean, structured information to searchers. To this end, WeFind automatically assigns the thematic area (e.g. “general” or “health”) of the search, and then sorts the resultant lists into special areas, such as “current news’, “pharmacies” or “cafés”.

To facilitate this new slant of search, specialized new search algorithms have been developed, for instance for the researching of news portals and blogs, as well as the products of cooperative partners. According to WeFind, the company is collaborating with national and international partners – users can find books and other products from Amazon, public notices from German official agencies, doctor/medical evaluations (delivered with DocInsider) or company information via Firmenwissen.de.

A local search option has also been introduced – if the user searches for “Naturheilverfahren in 10435″ [en=alternative medical in 10435], WeFind automatically finds relevant content, and will expand its range to person searches. Special here is that people discovered through the resultant search(es), would be able to be contacted directly via the WeFind community. “We can thus keep our fingers on the pulse and join up search and community: information can be searched for, WeFind delivers appropriate experts and provides the direct contact facility.  After a discussion with the experts, the searcher may also subsequently publish new discoveries on WeFind, and become an expert too”, said Helmut Hoffer von Ankershoffen, initiator and CEO of WeFind AG, in a press release.  This explains why WeFind sees itself as a Web2.0 initiative.

The new search service is run by WeFind AG, a daughter firm of neofonie Technologieentwicklung und Informationsmanagement GmbH.
