If ever evidence were needed that the world of search engines was not yet ready to roll over and accept Google as the unassailable overlord, Yebol surely provides it. The new upstart has slipped in under the radar a little, but with a new human-based semantic search, it’s certainly worth a look.
The company claim to have developed a whole new algorithm for search. This is, of course, nothing new in itself; Bing, Cuil, Wolfram Alpha, etc., the list goes on. What it does add though, is a human element. If you search for short terms (currently many longer ones still appear to be confusing it) you’ll get a whole list of options and suggestions. This is intelligently managed by the standard algorithm spiders, which determine a site’s strength and credentials, as well as human operators who refine searches for optimum relevance.
