Contextual Search

Startups are starting to come into the domain of big platforms like google, FB and Microsoft. A startup called Ivy Softworks has launched a contextual information search platform called Atlas. Ivy Softworks has also launched its first product on the platform - an app called Recall (http://techcrunch.com/2015/11/24/contextual-search-platform-atlas-is-ivy-softworks-first-spinoff/). Recall helps you look for information/data that you had searched for at one point of time but are not able to recall/remember it accurately. This is because Recall watches all the data that you create everyday and tries to link all of it into some 'context'.

It's just interesting to see what all is happening in search today. My last blogpost was about voice based search and this is about contextual search. I always thought that google had done it all in search but the reality is that things just got started with Google!
