Truevert | Green Search

Product overview

The goal of Truevert is to provide users with information that is focused on their interest. Truevert provides a scalable, accurate, and powerful search technology that learns the meaning of language the same way people do - by it's context.

This version of Truevert is focused on green, environmental awareness. All searches are done from the point of view of environmental and social concern. The results are obtained from YAHOO BOSS. They are then organized and clustered by Truevert. If you search for the word "carbon" for example, it knows that you want information about carbon's impact on climate change, not its physical chemistry. What's most surprising, is that the Truevert search engine learned all this in less than one hour on a single server with no ontology, taxonomy, or thesaurus.

Search box

Use the search box at the top of the screen to enter a query. You don't have to type a full sentence, just one or a few words. Truevert will interpret your query in its context and provide results that match your selected topic.

Search results

Search results are ranked and presented beneath the search box on the right hand side.

Next / Previous Page

Click on the previous results Next results following the results summary to navigate to the next/previous page of results.

Preview

Click on the Preview Doc icon to see a preview of each page. Click on the link to be taken to that page.

Interesting Phrases

Click on the Get Interesting Terms icon to get a list of interesting phrases for the document. Right now Interesting Phrases only works with English HTML pages. Later releases will work with other languages and file types. Interesting phrases are those that are characteristic of the document.

Themes

On the left are themes for the documents that have been retrieved. Two icons follow each theme label. Click on the icon to show just the current documents for that theme. Click on the icon at the top of the column to return to displaying all of the documents for all of the themes. Click on the icon to run a new search for documents matching that theme.

Technology

Truevert provides focused search results because it has learned the meaning of words in the same way that people do--from the way that the words are used. Truevert does not depend on any artificial taxonomy, ontology, thesaurus, dictionary, or require document authors to categorize their content (as in the so-called semantic web). As a result, learning a new topic takes minutes on a single CPU, rather than 20 years of human effort or a hundred CPU months. Truevert is scalable and capable. It works in any language. Rather than restricting results to a small set of hand-selected sites, Truevert can retrieve any documents from anywhere on the Web.

Compare

The easiest way to evaluate Truevert is to compare the searches done on Truevert with searches done on YAHOO or Google. This version of Truevert was trained on green web pages, so it knows about green things. It gets its results from YAHOO so it has access to a huge range of documents. Truevert uses its proprietary, patent-pending technology to select and rank the results it gets from YAHOO. The Truevert results are much more focused on green topics than are the general YAHOO results
