Hong Kong-based startup provides a better search experience with user-ranked results
HONG KONG – Verbase, Inc. announced availability of its new semantic search engine that relieves user frustration associated with spam, advertising and irrelevant search results. Verbase enables users to determine the outcome of searches, as opposed to other search engines that deliver machine-based results, where advertising and spam frequently rank high. Powered by human intelligence, Verbase delivers more direct results for text-based searches, and enables users to add comments and original content to search results. Verbase is currently receiving over 50,000 unique monthly visitors to its site.
“Verbase’s fresh approach to search keeps results pure and free of clutter”
“Verbase’s fresh approach to search keeps results pure and free of clutter,” said Daniel Freedman, founder of Jasomi Networks and former VP of Security Products at McAfee. “While other search engines excel at retrieving results quickly, Verbase saves users time by effectively filtering out irrelevant listings for a particular query.”
Verbase’s automatic user ranking algorithm orders results according to user engagement along with other user-focused variables, while hiding spam and irrelevant listings. The top-listed search results are based on what real users find most interesting and relevant as opposed to other search engines that mix advertising with search results.
“Today’s search engines are inherently flawed due to a business model that is geared towards maximizing advertising revenue instead of delivering the best results to users,” said Antoine Sorel Neron, founder and CEO, Verbase. “Verbase empowers users, allowing them to determine what shows up first, while ensuring the integrity of the search experience by excluding ads and spam from results.”
Verbase Key Features
- Standard search box for making queries, with additional category filters to narrow down results and add to keyword intelligence.
- Automatic user ranking algorithm leverages user engagement to increase relevance of search results in real-time.
- Unlike other search engines, Verbase has no ads in search results.
