Become.com Launches ``Dynamic Suggestions``; Provides Users with Real-Time Recommendations while Searching the Internet
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- June 7, 2005 -- Become.com, a search engine that helps people find product reviews and relevant buying information, today announced the launch of "Dynamic Suggestions," a new feature designed to help people create effective search queries. Dynamic Suggestions generate real-time recommendations while users are typing their searches.
The suggestions provided to users are based on product-related terms and phrases identified from Become.com`s evaluation of over 3 billion web pages. Suggestions include but are not limited to manufacturer names, part numbers, brands, and a wide range of products and services.
"Become.com`s approach to providing exceptional Dynamic Suggestions is based on a deep technical understanding of shopping-related content on the web," said Yeogirl Yun, founder, chairman and CTO. "We have been able to leverage our technology to help consumers in a way not achieved by competitors."
Unlike other search engines that provide suggestions based simply on queries entered by other users, Become.com scours the web for a wide range of both comprehensive and detailed content. Become.com also works to provide suggestions that are particularly valuable to shoppers rather than the less focused suggestions that might appear on general purpose search engines.
Dynamic Suggestions can be found below the search box on Become.com`s home page.
