| Search Agents |
 |
| The search for information remains the never ending task for Net surfers. Indeed, the Internet is known and recognized as being a colossal data base containing all existing information. Whether this is true or not remains to be seen, but the fact is that people will not hesitate to browse this network, sometimes for hours on end, in the pursuit of the required information, convinced that they will find it "any minute now"….. In reality, we see that searching is great, but finding is a completely different story... |

At a time when one wonders about the effectiveness of search engines and directories which tap only a tiny percentage of available information, intelligent agents offer extremely interesting search solutions. A Meta Search agent (an agent combining engines) simultaneously requests a search from more than one search tool at a time and can even be specialized in a particular subject area or a particular type of file. These intelligent agents allow the search to be conducted in a more efficient manner, and therefore provide more relevant results. A major objective of our company, Cybion, is "to find the right information at the right time". Without a doubt, the agents that we present here will take you one step closer to achieving this goal. |
