Here’s a quick review of the top features in Zakta that vastly improve and personalize your web search experience:

  • Semantics:  Zakta uses semantic knowledge on millions of topics of information to provide meaningful ways to choose the topic of relevance to you when you are searching, and also to explore the space of semantically related topics to your query.  This improves relevance of the results and enables faster discovery.
  • Organized results: Zakta uses automatic classification and templates to organize your search results into categories that are meaningful for your query. So, for example, a query on a celebrity will contain results on categories such as Gossip, Fan Fare etc., while a query on a disease will contain results on categories such as Causes, Medical Treatment etc. This improves efficiency in your web search, letting you focus in on specific aspects of the search results faster.
  • Personalization: Beyond the facilities listed above to improve the relevance of your search results, Zakta enables you to delete search results, drag-and-drop to reorder search results, and annotate and tag search results, making the search experience very personal to you.  All your changes are automatically saved to your Zakta account. This saves time and reduces the frustration with having to redo your searches over and over again.
