Open Text Corporation introduced today Livelink Pinstripe, a Web search
engine designed specifically to meet the needs of business users.
Livelink Pinstripe returns highly focused search results,
indexing only Web pages that are pertinent to business users.
While it is available free to anyone with Web access, Livelink Pinstripe is
also integrated with the next version of Open Text’s collaborative
management system, Livelink Intranet (scheduled for release in mid-1998).
Pinstripe crawls over a million pages a day and automatically refreshes its
databases more than twice as often as most search engines.
The Open Text Livelink search engine that powers Livelink Pinstripe is able
to treat the pages in the index as if they were divided into separate
categories, or slices. The result is that users can search a specific
industry segment for the information they need, without having to sift
through irrelevant hits.
Searches can be performed on 150 precategorized groupings. For those who
prefer simplified searching across multiple databases, the Quick Search form
can be used. Lastly, for more complex queries, the Power Search form can be
used.
In addition to offering extensive search capabilities, Livelink Pinstripe
also aggregates additional business content, including information from such
partners as Forbes, Deja News, Net-Temps, and WhoWhere.
