MineTech, Inc. announced the release of a new search engine which “eliminates” to need for users to query the streams of batched data delivered by popular “keyword”-based search engines when conducting online searches. “Search Incite” reads and understands how words are used in a sentence. Search Incite understands, for example, the distinctions between the word “mouse” as a computer component versus a rodent or “bass” as a fish, singer or an instrument, which helps streamline and refine the search focus for users. Search Incite works with almost every format of structured and unstructured data and all languages can be supported. It can also automate the metadata tagging process via the index and the XML translation process to standardize data definitions. Search Incite is for CRM vendors, enterprise portal management providers, consulting firms, corporate knowledge management providers, research firms, content providers, the legal industry, pharmaceutical industry, publishers and the financial services industry. The search engine can be deployed and priced on an annual license, subscription, ASP or OEM basis. www.minetech.com

The Unicode Consortium announced a significant update of the Unicode Standard, Version 4.0.1. No new characters are added to the standard at this time — the total number of characters still stands at 96,382 for the world’s scripts and collections of symbols. However, the information in the Character Database has been refined to improve the quality of text processing in all languages of the world. This version of the Unicode Character Database includes the first major update of the CJK database (Unihan) in two years. The Unihan Database provides character properties, definitions, pronunciations, mappings, and other information for the CJK characters in the standard — the characters used in particular for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. This update includes thousands of additions and corrections, including major new correlations with traditional Chinese and Japanese dictionary sources. This version significantly improves the ability to interchange languages such as Arabic, Hebrew, Urdu, and Pashto. It also clarifies the implementation of such languages as Bengali and the relationship between base form letters and accent marks. Full technical details regarding the Unicode Standard, Version 4.0.1 are published online. www.unicode.org
