Inktomi Announces Enhancements

Inktomi announces enhancements to its Web search products. The press release is long on verbage, but the actual enhancements seem to consist of revised relevance algorithms using modeling based on human judgement along with more abilities to blend Inktomi search results with other database results. It also mentions the fresher and more diverse content being made available in the database from their Index Connect (see March 9) initiative. The impact of all of this on searchers will only be seen as Inktomi partners start adopting these changes.
