Factbites - A New Type of Search |
 | | The results that Factbites generates are still extracts from web pages, but they are of far higher quality than the summaries that main stream web search engines provide. |
| | By focusing the technology on passages that make statements about the topic being searched for, the user experiences a far richer response. |
| | It should be noted that this type of interface has the potential to change the way in which searches are performed |

| | And when you select a page, you can have much more confidence that the page deals with your topic. |
