Pre-launch Search Physics Funded For Iterative Search

San Francisco-based Search Physics has raised an undisclosed amount of angel funding. The pre-launch startup says it has developed a search engine that extracts the information content of websites and stores additional information about each site in a database that can be used for other purposes. One use is to classify the links, and the other is to assist the users in narrowing down their search results.

We can agree with their case that search searches return too many URL's irrelevant to the search topic. and it difficult to judge relevance from the URL list, so each must be visited individually, which can be a time sink.

Search Physics says it not only reduces the number of irrelevant URL' in the returned list but also gives a brief description that makes it easy and quick to judge the relevance of the site.

At this point we don't know if Search Physics will be a stand-alone search site, a tool-bar or sit on top of other search engines. Investors Stanley Wong and David Shen both came from Yahoo. The company's CEO/founder is Dr. Minh Duong-van physicist in the field of theory of chaos and quantum theory.
