Volunia Search Engine to be launched soon

Volunia, the Italian web search engine, is due to be launched on Monday the 7th of February.


Developed by Massimo Marchiori (one of the top 100 researchers in the world, in the picture with Tim Berners-Lee), it will be launched via web conference from the University of Padua, where Massimo currently teaches Databases and Information Systems.

Massimo was the creator of the HyperSearch technique which  is currently adopted by most of the search engines (Google above all).

He claims the new engine will have some new features that all the other search engines will adopt within the next four or five years. He stated that it is more than another search engine, "It will be different, it will do things that Google is currently not able to do".



I'm looking forward to the launching event. I will post an update here to discuss the new features and the core technology concepts behind Volunia search engine.

    1. I'm quite curious. There are big expectations around this event. I'm trying to gather more information around the new features, but nothing has leaked out.
