“Microsoft on Tuesday confirmed it is testing a new Internet search engine it hopes will power the US software giant out of distant third place in a market dominated by Google.
A Kumo.com search engine being privately tested by Microsoft workers is reportedly based on semantic technology that enables it to understand sentences and relationships between words.
Current search engines, including software used by Google, rely on matching words typed into search boxes with those found at websites and in data found on the Internet."
