WILL THIS MAKE GOOGLE GOGGLE-EYED?

<snippet>
A NEW SEARCH engine has the potential to steal Google's thunder. The developers of ``Dipsie'' claim that when it goes live next July, the program will search 10 billion Web pages, triple the number Google searches.

There's an appetite for better results. Independent studies show that 50% of consumer searches don't find the desired information. That's largely because the specialized programs used by most search engines sniff out mostly ``static'' Web pages. The majority of the Net's newest information, however, is in ``dynamic'' sites featuring sound, video, or material customized to a surfer's request. Hewlett-Packard Co., for example, adds thousands of custom pages to its site each year, and Dipsie execs claim their engine will connect users better than rivals.

What's Dipsie's secret? All search engines use algebra to prioritize relevant items. Dipsie adds language-based, or semantic, analysis to the equation, sensing content and context. So it can figure out whether ``cat'' means a cute critter or Caterpillar. This improves the odds for spot-on results.
