"YUREKA" THE INTERNET'S FIRST "FIND ENGINE" LETS ANYONE USE COMPLEX SEARCH TERMS TO FIND EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR...FAST AND EASY!

Tired of using search engines that come back with hundreds of links? Yureka.com uses easy new technology that takes you directly to just the sites you are looking for.

San Francisco, CA--If you have ever tried to find something on the Internet with one of the popular search engines, you were likely frustrated when it offered you dozens, hundreds, or thousands of choices, or repeats the same site over and over again. After clicking to a few, many Internet users find that none of the sites are what they are searching for.

Bay Area software developer, John Orfali, took note of user frustration and devised a search tool so powerful it is being call the Internet's first "Find Engine." It premiered this week at http://Yureka.com/.

"The problem with most searches is that typing in a single word isn't enough information for the computer to find what you're looking for," Orfali said. Precise searching requires longer, often complicated, search queries.Yureka.com builds the complicated questions for you so you can find the information you are looking for quickly and easily. In addition, Yureka lets you search all of the major search engines with a single click and combines the sites listed more than once.

A visitor using The Yureka.com Find Engine starts by using MetaCrawler, a tool that goes through the databases of many search engines simultaneously. Yureka then goes to other search sites, eliminates the duplicates, and returns the best results. All this advanced searching takes place in an instant making it the perfect search tool for hurried and demanding Internet users and businesses.

Yureka.com supplies simple directions for formulating your search question. Entire phrases or questions can be typed in using a dozen different ways to easily control the way Yureka interprets the phrase. One useful function lets you dish up any site that starts with particular words, giving users a kind of brain-storming effect on the Internet. Another powerful feature lets you exclude certain areas of a subject. "For example, you can have Yureka.com look for horses without bringing up sites on horse shows," Orfali pointed out.

Yureka.com is a division of San Francisco's Can Do Application Solutions, Inc. The company is also the developer of several programs that help web owners create their own e-commerce systems at a fraction of the normal cost at http://iomanager.com/.
