Its Smart Search capability, which is designed to intuitively determine what information users are looking for and package data and relevant links into a rectangular box placed above the conventional list of Web sites.
This capability, based on a combination of the company’s Teoma search, natural language and structured-data search technologies, is being extended with new features, including the following categories: movies, wedding registries, tracking numbers for Federal Express and UPS packages, people search, word definitions and sports teams.
