A SEARCH-engine tool being developed in Sydney and picked up by internet giant Google will revolutionise the way people retrieve information from the net, its developers said. The advanced text-search algorithm, Orion, is being developed by University of NSW PhD student Ori Allon and his supervisor Dr Eric Martin. Orion will make searches much less time-consuming, by working with existing search engines and expanding on their function. Instead of finding pages on the net that contain keywords, then providing links, the new search engine will provide expanded text extracts which will eradicate the need to open every link.
