So a couple of friends of mine and me are working on a pet project of ours. Basically, we are working on a semantic search engine. Right now we are making it to be a stand-alone service, but we have some plans on integrating it with existing search engines. By semantic search, I mean full-fledged semantic matching of queries to documents - not only synonyms. We already made some progress in coding this whole thing and started wondering whether anybody besides us could be interested in using something like this. So my main question is: does anybody feel the need for a smarter search engine? Or something multi-modal (e.g. matching text to images).
