Press release - January 5, 2006
Quintura Inc. announces the release of Quintura Search™

Quintura Search offers “One-Click Search”™, helps finding relevant
information on the web easier and faster by taking the web search
offered by Google, Yahoo and MSN to the next level

Quintura Search helps a web user create and share personalized search
scopes allowing for the web search to become more personal

Alexandria, VA, January 5, 2006 –
Quintura Inc., the next-generation web search company, today announced
the release of Quintura Search™ 1.0. Quintura Search helps a user to
find relevant information on the web easier and faster by taking the
web search offered by Google, Yahoo and MSN to the next level.

Today’s Web search offered by Google, Yahoo! and MSN returns millions
of results. It is often not an easy task for a web user to build a
specific query and find relevant information. Quintura Search helps
to overcome those limitations by offering a visual map of related tags
or a context-based “tag cloud”.

Quintura Search offers tags or hints contextually related to a
keyword, helping to specify the context or the meaning of the keyword.
Adding or subtracting tags from the query using the visual map of tags
and a mouse click, “One-Click-Search”, allows a user to specify the
context or meaning of the keyword. It therefore narrows the search
and allows finding relevant information faster even if it has low
ranking and is not displayed on the first pages of search results.

In addition, using Quintura Search, a user can create and share
personalized search scopes allowing for the web search to become more
personal:

*Create a personalized search scope using tags related to a search
query

*Make search scope more specific and personalize the scope by adding
or subtracting tags using a visual map

*Refine search results removing search links or web-sites from the
result list

*Save the search scope as a file and share it with others

*Monitor new information becoming available on the web related to
personal interests of the user

“In addition to a visual user interface that is cool and clever,
Quintura Search brings major advancement to tagging of Web content.
The Quintura technology tags meaning or relationships between words",
said Yakov Sadchikov, co-Founder, President & CEO of Quintura. "As a
result, Quintura Search allows finding the most relevant results right
on the first page of the search results.”

Quintura Search 1.0 is a client side application that utilizes a
regular search engine to send and retrieve the results of a query.

Quintura Search is free and can be downloaded from
http://www.quintura.com/download/

The demo of Quintura Search is available at

Quintura in planning to launch online services where anyone (web user,
web-site owner, blog owner, community or web-site publisher) can
create, personalize and share its own search scopes.

I hope there aren't any <ahem> 'freeware contigencies' to this
software I haven't found yet. Otherwise, on the surface, at least,
Quintura looks as though it may have potential in the freeware
'roster' ring...

I recall seeing a Web based search engine with the same features. Don't
remember the name of it though.
