What is WhatiSS


What is WhatiSS
(NOW)

Currently WhatiSS is just a custom search engine built using BOSS.Well some tweaking in results,that's it.It fetches answers from different qa sites like yahoo answers,wiki etc.

What will be WhatiSS

Anything..! yes anything that helps you getting your questions answered.The most important thing is make it easy and fast to find out what you're looking at.

We have seen qa sites emerging that answers thousands of questions every day.But people used to ask & answer the same questions again and again.Boring huh..!With WhatiSS you can see whether the question is already asked/answered.

When will it out

It will be soon out there.but if how soon is your concern..we're sorry because time will tell.

Behind the search

Search is the last most important thing that changed the way weuse information.We start exploiting search as much as we can.

People stop navigating and start using search engines even for visiting home pages.

Still we are running out of relevant results.But where the content ???.The biggest problem with search is getting,showing the exact result the user needs for a few keywords.

We know at different places,people use different words to identify the same thing.Just like that different people express different keywords to get the same thing.So people used to say...semantics can solve the issue..yes of course to some extent.But how come it can infer some complex things put by users??.

Any Feedback

@WhatiSS new design up there and some more functionality.

I have seen Ask giving some similar service.But their index is not upto the mark.I have also seen Answers giving something similar but via Google Custom search.

I thought what makes WhatiSS special??Just a question answer search engine..'No' that's what everyone say the first.But the truth is for the moment WhatiSS is something ordinary which need to be special to _____.

Why i come up with reference look up is not a big question?.People are trying everything so they expect someday something will work.I also thought of adding dictionary,thesaurus etc.But i am unsure whether this will work.

I know that the most important thing to do is missing..and what is that?
