Business Research Engine Knuru.com Launches with Content from Wharton Business School

Business Research Engine Knuru.com Launches with Content from Wharton Business School

knuru Ltd. is proud to launch its innovative online research engine for web users seeking authoritative business information. knuru.com combines a natural language approach to search with dynamic contextualized results drawn from query relevance, not advertisement sponsors, to extract concise information from top-tier intellectual resources.

The Wharton Business School of the University of Pennsylvania has become the first institution to adopt this new technology, by integrating it into the website and archive of its venerated Knowledge@Wharton online business journal. Thanks to this partnership knuru.com users at large are also given free access to this valuable content resource, which populates as ‘strategic’ search results in the knuru.com interface.

Direct to knuru.com
Fast Facts
+ Two Search Tabs/Databases Available for Searching: Strategic Results & News
+ Strategic results come from Knowledge@Wharton. After running several searches Knowledge@Wharton appears to be the only data source at this time.
+ Various news sources via Moreover feed.
+ All results include a direct link to a dynamically generated contextualized summary. Summaries can be emailed, printed, or printed with a a direct link to open in Word 2003.

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012
