TERAGRAM HELPS INFOSPACE USERS GET TO THE POINT

Powerful Linguistic Technology Enables Flagship Search Engines to Generate More Useful Results

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - January 9, 2006 - Teragram, the leading provider of multilingual natural language processing technologies, today announced that online directory and web search services provider InfoSpace has implemented several of Teragram's powerful linguistic capabilities across its flagship metasearch brands, including Dogpile, WebCrawler, MetaCrawler and WebFetch. Teragram's Entities Extraction and Query Speller technologies help InfoSpace users uncover more relevant and useful information through advanced Web queries and the company's popular IntelliFind feature. IntelliFind compares search terms to factual databases to predict what kind of information the user is looking for, and presents it to the user directly.

InfoSpace-powered sites utilize unique metasearch technology to aggregate content from a number of leading search engines, producing thousands of results ranked in order of relevance to the original query. Teragram's Entities Extraction technology comes into play by analyzing each InfoSpace site's millions of daily queries for common requests about public figures, phone numbers, locations and events. These items are then compared to various databases, and matching results are displayed prominently at the top of the results page, providing the user with answers to common questions without having to manually dig through other results.

"Relevancy and speed are critical to our search customers," said Justin Law, director of product management for search and directory at InfoSpace. "Teragram helps us to take a smarter approach about the intents of the end user, allowing us to deliver more concise and effective content on the first try. These types of results really give us an edge over the competition."

Teragram also helps InfoSpace improve its more basic search offerings. InfoSpace determined that one of the biggest hurdles users face in finding the right information was actually misspellings in search queries. To help get around this problem, Teragram Spelling Correction compares queries to enormous dictionaries and either automatically corrects common mistakes or provides suggested alternatives for less obvious errors.

"While the idea might seem simple, spelling can alter results greatly when you are looking for a particular piece of information," Law said. "Teragram helps us to analyze a user's query to get the desired information on the first try, even if a word is incorrectly spelled. This kind of flexibility is key to providing our users with the most accurate results available in today's search marketplace."
