This So-Called Search Engine For Geniuses Is Now Expanding Into 100 Languages - And It's Not Google

Omnity is the little-known seacrh engine that makes a clear distinction with Google. It specializes in finding scientific, research, and technical papers. It spots rare words in these documents to match similar ones in others found in fields that may be unrelated. Now, it is branching out into more than 100 languages. The one thing that makes it similar to Google is that it is free.

Google makes our search for topics, data, and other kinds of information easy by looking for those words that we type on its tab. Its algorithms focus on documents and web pages that contain those words, and then put them up on its results page. Omnity's strategy is quite different. It looks for rare words. As described by End Gadget, first it looks for the 'rare words' or the least similar phrases or texts in the document you are looking for, and then does a massive quest for matching abstracts and papers in its database. Only then does it proceed to the second and more familiar method of focusing on the more familiar phrases.

Omnity creates its own unique search by emphasizing relevance instead of familiarty. For example, your query is about the possibility of cellphones inducing cancer on children whose minds are still too malleable to handle the radiation from the device. Omnity will offer you alternatives. Instead of just cranking up the usual results of studies that support or debunk this theory, it will come up with documents on the other effects of cellphone on children, the other reasons why cancer develops in them, and how to measure the malleabilty of a very young mind.

In a way, Omnity helps you to think in a non-linear, multi-dimensional approach.It specializes in finance, engineering, mathematics, and law. Its database encompasses public institutions including the Library of Congress, filings from the Securities and Exchange Commission, and U.S. patents, among others.

Now, it is giving geniuses, researchers, and scientists an extra thrill by programming multi-lingualism into its functions. That means that a search query will scan other documents and research papers that are written by academicians and industry experts in Japanese, Arabic, Chinese, etc. TechCrunch says that the system will be expanded to include more than 100 foreign languages. A search query will trigger a cross-lingual approach and come up with the results in the same way, but this time including findings from Russian labs or Swedish academia.

The geeks in Google will not lose sleep over Omnity any time soon. But it can no longer claim that it has one unquestionable standard that determines how searches on the web are made.
