E-Business Library > intent driven search from Yahoo

http://blog.experiencecurve.com [customer experience strategy - by Karl Long] Yahoo’s concept of intent driven search provides a pretty useful customer experience, but the hidden goldmine IMHO is market research.

The tiny San Francisco startup is out to search not the World Wide Web but the contents of corporations' vast and complex data centers. The name is a takeoff on spelunking, the exploration of caves. The company's founders decided to take the name after they heard from early testers of their technology that it was like diving into the dark depths of the data center and poking around.

In many cases, they're hidden behind complex JavaScript, Flash-based players, and other non-crawler friendly obstacles. That'sexactly why we've talking to a lot of our existing media partners, many of whom have sizeable video assets which have yet to be indexed.
