Nav4 Search Engine Patch Kit 1.0 Available for Download

Revolutionary Approach Takes the Work Out of Generating Related Navigation Links

Seattle, Washington -- August 5, 2002 -- Nav4 Search Engine Patch Kit (SEPK), launched today by Think Tank 23, a Seattle- and Denver-based provider of information retrieval and navigation solutions, provides Website administrators with a low-impact, low-cost way to add powerful 4th-generation navigation and information retrieval features to their existing Web sites.

Businesses frustrated by the time and productivity lost to traditional keyword search technologies no longer need to resort to expensive alternatives for navigation that rely on complex taxonomies, topic maps, or exhaustive training.

Based on Think Tank 23's patent-pending Waypoint technology, which uses advanced natural-language processing to dynamically identify thematic categories embedded within Web pages, Nav4 SEPK generates in-context related-document navigation automatically.

Using built-in HTML and XML interfaces, Nav4 SEPK's related-document lists can be easily placed within existing HTML pages and search results, or accessed directly through a customizable Web server.

Nav4 SEPK integrates with or works alongside any existing search engine. It also includes a full-featured search engine for standalone operation on sites that do not yet have a keyword search engine. SEPK is available for download from Think Tank 23's site, at http://www.thinktank23.com.
