Exalead, an excellent search engine with advanced search functions, has grown its index to 4 billion and expects to double that to 8 billion by July 2006.
Press release describes Exalead's capabilities:
"Based on real-time statistical linguistics, statistical semantics and entity extraction technology, Exalead's Web search engine offers a wide range of advanced query capabilities and linguistics features. These include: spelling suggestion, phonetic search, fuzzy matching, proximity search, word stemming, search term highlighting, multi-language search, automatic phrase detection and translation. Additionally, Exalead offers personalization options on its home page, shortcuts and personal bookmarks. A smart preview feature lets users browse results with ease."
"Often, the Web page one is searching for does not contain the terms of the original search query. To help solve this challenge, Exalead's patented navigation system automatically generates a table of contents for each query by recording the information's structure. Users can then refine their search by clicking on hyperlinked categories and related topics, or by geographic location, author, format, or even language."
