New tendencies of search systemsAt conference Alt Search Engines the basic directions of development of search technologies were discussed:
1. Vertical Search — vertical search: on pictures, video, etc.
2. Semantic Search — are focused on use of inquiries on a usual spoken language, build systems which can "understand" real sense of search inquiries.
3. Discovery Engines — some search systems work over that it is as much as possible full and is structured to give answers to questions in certain areas. Examples: Kosmix and Worio.
4. New Presentation Models — and many work improving appearance of results of search, visualising them and breaking on semantic groups.
