PR Newswire (US)
New Web Search Product, called ChunkIt!, is an Internet
Browser-Based Application that Enhances the Search Experience of
Any Popular Search Engine or Web Page SAN JOSE, Calif., April 18
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TigerLogic Corporation (NASDAQ:TIGR),
formerly Raining Data Corporation (NASDAQ:RDTA), announced it will
launch in the coming weeks a new Internet browser-based application
that enhances the search experience of any popular search engine or
Web page. The company has changed its name to TigerLogic
Corporation to better reflect its new focus on browser-based and
integrated search tools it plans to introduce based on its
TigerLogic technology platform. The company will change its ticker
symbol to "TIGR" effective April 21, 2008. An online demonstration
and detailed product description of the new ChunkIt! search product
is available at http://www.tigerlogic.com/ChunkIt. Visitors to the
site can also request to participate in the private beta test
program of ChunkIt!. ChunkIt! is a, patent pending, revolutionary
personal search engine (PSE) that sits in the Internet browser and
enhances today's most popular search services, including Google,
Yahoo!, Microsoft Live Search, AOL and Ask. The product
dramatically increases user productivity by extracting and
displaying "chunks" of information alongside the search engine
results to see beyond the simple search results and obtain enough
information to determine which links are most relevant to the
search, before users start clicking away. This convenient
browser-based application can rapidly search through thousands of
search engine link results, as well as any Web page and its
embedded links, so users can quickly determine where to find
exactly what they are looking for. "ChunkIt! puts an end to the
frustrating search fishing expedition where users are wasting
valuable time chasing after 'lame' links and hopping between
multiple windows and pages," said Carlton H. Baab, President &
CEO of TigerLogic Corporation. "ChunkIt! empowers users with x-ray
vision-like capabilities so they can easily see beyond the links on
any Web page and view the actual content behind those links. This
capability is extremely useful not only for enhancing search engine
results, but for viewing any website page that contains hundreds,
if not thousands, of embedded hyperlinks, commonly found on online
market sites, encyclopedias, and news sites." The "chunks"
delivered in a revolutionary dual panel page are displayed to the
left of the chosen search engine results. The ChunkIt! panel
displays results of the key search words or phrase highlighted in
unique colors, and is delivered in the same context as to how they
are used on the original Web page. By clicking on the ChunkIt! icon
next to each result, users can quickly view the same chunk
highlighted on the referenced Web page in the right panel, thus
completely eliminating the need to manage multiple windows.
"ChunkIt! is designed to enhance Web search for an Internet that
has grown exponentially since most of the major search services
were originally built," Baab said. "ChunkIt! is designed to make
the Web more easily digestible and is going to become an
invaluable, user-driven tool to help users make sense of all the
information that is out there." More information about ChunkIt! and
a video demo are available at http://www.tigerlogic.com/ChunkIt.
