Autonomy Corp (Dr. Michael Lynch) has a lot of IP in
this
area. There
current marquee product is IDOL - 'Intelligent
Data Operating Layer', but I
don't know when this was
developed.
One of the products Autonomy
created after it was spun
off from Neurodynamics in 1996 was ActiveKnowledge,
the BAE
Systems tool that tips you off to relevant resources in the
company
archive when you begin typing a document. Another
software program under the
Autonomy direct-sales banner,
Portal-in-a-Box, collects links to archived
documents and to
data on the Internet it thinks you'll be interested in -
based on the texts you've clicked to and read in the past -
and weaves it all
into a custom-tailored page on your
company's Web site.
Copenric Desktop Search - Wiki says initial release

Tropes Zoom is a desktop search engine and
semantic
analysis software from Acetic/Semantic-Knowledge. Originally
written

search engine based on
semantic networks to be widely known.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
