SydneyPLUS Google-style Meta-search

(Vancouver, Canada – October 13, 2006) Leading knowledge-management solution provider SydneyPLUS International announces the addition of Meta-search technology. Meta-Search lets user's get more results with less effort. With Google, millions of people search the world with an elegant, single-field interface. Meta-search applies the same power and elegance to your SydneyPLUS world.

SydneyPLUS's Meta-search provides more comprehensive results in less time. While libraries traditionally compartmentalize data making end users work harder, Internet search-engines — such as Google — have developed the expectation that simple, single term searches can scan whole databases. Meta-search meets this expectation with these advantages:

  • lightning-fast search results
  • less decision-making for your users
  • less training

"This is probably the most innovative search feature we've ever added," says Neil Corris, Manager of Research and Development for SydneyPLUS. "Many of our clients have requested this ability, so we decided to make it available to all clients."

For clients that wish to take advantage of this capability, the Meta-search will be available to all SydneyPLUS clients in the next release of SydneyPLUS at no charge.
