Seuss also plans to market the never before released Northern Light Enterprise Search Engine, a 64-bit enterprise search solution, featuring Northern Light’s taxonomy and classification capability that uses Northern Light’s clustering technology. It is unclear what the plabs are for the Northern Light Web search engine. www.northernlight.com
