Teoma 3.0

rustybrick · #1 09-21-2004

Does anyone have more information on Teoma 3.0? I was hoping the how teoma works page would be updated.

This is what I collected so far:
- enhanced relevance for query results
- an increased crawling frequency to refresh more often the index of general sites and news stories
- an expanded index that now has about 2 billion English-language Web documents, up from about 1.5 billion six months ago.
- The index is expected to grow to about 2.5 billion documents by the end of 2004.
- supports double-byte Asian languages and features a Japanese-language index, which currently has about 100 million Web documents.
- Enhancements to Teoma 3.0 expected in the fourth quarter include a page cache feature and a related search feature.
- ability for users to search only for Flash or PDF files.
- plans to launch a desktop search product

Maybe if I ask a specific question, we can get some more detail from the AskJeevesRep?

In the official Press Release it says:

Quote:

Increased Relevance -- Ask Jeeves has introduced improvements to the core Teoma algorithms, including enhanced ability to classify content in order to better assess authority.

Can you explain this a little more? Do you have examples of how this is improved? How does this affect the actual results?

Thanks.

Hopefully this means that they will updating their index because I have not seen my clients pages updated in the Teoma index for at last 3 - 4 months ... maybe more. They will certainly need to update their index more frequently if they want to have any chance at all in competing against Google and Yahoo.

Teoma looks still the same, is still slow, still has a counterintuitive interface, still does three kinds of culstering (why three?), and still doesn't come with a fresh index...

IMHO, they'll have to fix all of this... (and no, I don't think AJ got a better interface).

Most of our clients have the greatest success ranking in Teoma. I don't seem to be having any problems getting new sites ranked either.
