Feds Fund Anti-Terrorism Search Engine

Posted by Zonk on from the google-isn't-good-enough? dept.

Ben writes "The FAA and researchers at the University at Buffalo are developing an anti-terrorism search engine that will hunt for 'hidden' information -- like how to take down an airliner -- that can be puzzled together by grabbing bits and pieces from unrelated documents. Eventually, they say, the technique can be commercialized to improve search results on more mundane matters.`"

    It's less about driving down the price of gas, and more about controlling who gets the profits from selling it.
