Zapaat Context Web Search
(trading as Sahas Technologies LLC)
Zapaat is a Context Web Search Engine that provides information to users based on Keywords and Context input from Internet users. As the Internet grows in size, it is increasingly important that appropriate Search methods be available to Internet users for conducting searches. Due to the increasing size of the Internet, traditional search methods with only keywords, is becoming deprecated. Traditional search methods are becoming increasingly unable to provide accurate and relevant information to the Internet users.
Zapaat addresses this issue by introducing a context web search engine that collects the context definition as well as keyword from the Internet user to provide the requested information.
Zapaat is a website for Internet Searches available at http://zapaat.com
Zapaat uses two user inputs:
Keywords : Definition of particular word or phrase being searched within relevant web pages.
Look in Websites about : Definition of the relevant websites that are to be considered.
Connected Word Concept: Zapaat uses connected words concept to accurately collect the phrase that is being searched by the Internet user. This increases the accuracy and relevance of the information provided.
The Customers for Zapaat are all global users of the Internet.
Zapaat introduces a new method for Internet searching by using both Keywords and Context definition from the Internet user, thereby providing accurate and relevant information. As no other Internet search engine provides such a method for Internet searching, Zapaat has a competitive advantage of such innov
ation. A patent is being sought to protect the innovation from being used by competitors.
The team currently consists of the inventor Syamantak Saha, who is a Data Management consultant with over 12 years experience, providing consultancy to global Organizations in retail, banking/finance, telecommunication and public sector. Other Directors and Officers are to be determined.
The company is seeking an initial investment of $75000 for Product development and marketing.
Zapaat introduces a new way to search for websites on the Internet. It significantly improves the efficiency of Internet searches, providing relevant information to the Internet user with minimal effort. To conduct Internet searches, Zapaat uses dual inputs from the Internet user:
Keywords
Look in Websites about
Having such a dual input, enables Zapaat to accurately find the requested information on the Internet.
In the input for Keywords, the Internet user enters the word or phrase that is being searched on the relevant websites.
In this input, the Internet user enters the description of the websites that are being considered for the search. This input creates the context for the search, within which the Keywords would be found.
Due to the dual nature of Input for the Internet Search, there is a two phased processing of information by Zapaat to provide the requested websites. In the first phase, the Context for the Website is captured from the Internet. Next, within the websites that are relevant to the context, the keywords that are being searched, are attempted to be located. When the Keywords are found within the prior captured relevant websites, a match for the user request is found.
The Internet user obtains more precise information by using Zapaat for searches, taking less time per find.
Zapaat provides a connected word concept for Internet Searching. Using this concept, the user can define the exact word or phrase that is being searched. This further improves the accuracy and relevance of the information provided to the user.
For this, Zapaat uses hyphen to denote connected words. For example, if the phrase searched is 'jazz guitar', then the Keyword entered is:
Keyword : -Jazz Guitar-
This is different to entering:
Keyword : Jazz Guitar
without the hyphen for connected words. This would mean that the Internet user wants to find the word Jazz or the word Guitar in the relevant websites.
