The Factbites Search Engine Beta
What do you get if you cross a search engine with an encyclopedia? No, not Answers.com, you get Factbites.
The best way to describe Factbites is "not quite Google, not quite Answers.com". In fact Factbites offers their own explanation.
Rather than focusing on link-based technology like Google, Factbites delves into the tone and subject matter of the given topic. The engine "reads" the content of each page and determines how meaningful the text is. It seeks out authoritative and informative content, preferring encyclopedia-style fact-based descriptions to the chatty, spammy and inconsequential.
In this beta release, 800,000 topics are covered. "We devote a lot more processing power to every search. Factbites is never going to be the place to locate your lost aunt, or order items from your corner store", says founder Luke Metcalfe.
