“Google Inc., one of the fastest growing search destinations on
the World Wide Web, today announced GoogleScout(TM), a
revolutionary new feature that expands a user’s access to related
information beyond the results of a search query. The company
today also announced the launch of its new website at
www.google.com.
“

“With the launch of the new Google site and the introduction of
GoogleScout, Google completes a successful and widely publicized
beta test, which is based on more than three years of advanced
research at Stanford University’s Computer Science Department.
Google is dedicated to providing the best search experience on the
World Wide Web by offering users a high-performance, scalable
technology that enables fast access to information on the
Internet…”

“Google’s underlying technology integrates a clean, easy-to-use
interface with next-generation technology to deliver search and
related link search results based on importance and relevancy. The
new GoogleScout feature offers a continuous source of relevant
recommendations of where to go next on the web, and takes users to
similar sites without additional keyword searching.”
