Gigablast Description
Gigablast was founded by Matt Wells in 2000 to index hundreds of millions of pages using as little hardware as possible. Gigablast offers high-performance, large-scale, real-time information retrieval technology for partner sites. The company offers many features, including topic generation and the ability of indexing multiple document formats. This search delivery method gives a partner "turnkey" search capability. It can instantly offer search at maximum scale and minimum cost. The clients range from NASDAQ 100 companies to small businesses.
