With over 100 million iOS (iPhone Operating System) devices being used around the world, Quintura that will shorlty release visual-based search applications for both iPhone and iPad has a strong chance to take part in search market consolidation.

The  monthly site search service subscription fee depends on a number of pages in site index, level of site search customization and technical support. We offer a special promotion until the end of summer 2010.

For “Premium Search” service, Quintura offers API service, for the first time. The web master can get site search results as XML feed and then use it directly from the programming code. In this case, it’s not necessary to embed the search widget.

Based on user feedback from more than 7,000 service registrations over the past two years, we improved web-site crawling and indexing, added new search display options and improved service user interface.

Being one of the major visual search engines, Quintura indexes a web-site and builds a search cloud of keywords and phrases related to the site.

The cloud is displayed as graphical user interface for searching and can be embedded to the site as a search widget.

See the widget in the left sidebar and create one at http://affiliates.quintura.com

One new option is that a publisher of several web-sites can create and manage site search for all its web-sites using single user account.

Per and Susanne Koch, editors of Pandia, said about Quintura Kids:

“..If these are not what you were looking for, a search cloud hovers above: Your search term is highlighted in the middle of related terms. As you point your mouse to the terms in the cloud, Quintura modifies your query and the search results. Even though this might not be as intuitive as Boolify, it is easy to understand how Quintura Kids works.”

The Quintura search cloud helps to determine user intent and gives search directions. In addition to Quintura Kids, Quintura offers hosted site search service for online publishers, Quintura Site Search.

Larry Ferlazzo, editor of Websites of the Day, said about Quintura:

“It provides search results in a visual “cloud.” I’d characterize it as similar to the present version of Kartoo, the well-known search engine, but much less confusing”

The Quintura search cloud helps to determine user intent and gives search directions. In addition to being a search destination, Quintura offers hosted site search service, Quintura Site Search and safe, visual-based search engine for children, Quintura for Kids.

“We have to get from the sort of casual use of asking, querying…to “what did you mean?””, he told to TechCrunch.

The search technology that powers Quintura visual-based search services such as Quintura Site Search and Quintura for Kids operates like a human brain. Quintura, whose index features a search cloud of related terms to easily refine searching, returns search results based on meaning and not keywords. Its search index is based on contextual relationships among search terms.

Quintura has been awarded five U.S. patents for its neural networking search technology and graphical search interface. –The patents validate neural networks for search, visualization and context management, contextual accuracy and relevance of search results, and use of neural networks for keyword generation.

That is why some major providers of online information has expressed serious interest in licensing the Quintura technology for meaning-based search and navigation.

The block with site search results is made dynamic in order to help your site users pay more attention to a search cloud.

The block is hidden until users mouse over or click any word/phrase in the cloud.

Then the respective search results will pop up below the search cloud.

The number of search result links and annotations can be changed in Publisher account settings on Quintura site for Affiliates.

We believe that this feature will improve user experience and increase a number of search result clicks.

Here is an explanation why Rick turned to Quintura:

“Because I can’t monitor my kids’ computer activity every second of the day, I’m starting by replacing Google with Quintura. This kid-friendly search engine lets you type in a query and/or click your way through a word cloud and get G-rated results in return.”

Since 2007, the teachers and librarians of more than 1,000 elementary schools in the US, Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand have been using Quintura for Kids, a kids-friendly search engine developed and operated by Quintura.

Here are screen shots of search for “Apple + iPhone” on Quintura.com and Google.com.
