According to the site: | kozoru is in the initial stages of research and development. |
| So quite a way to got then, although I see an Askjeeves founder on the board.

| I see an Askjeeves founder on the board. |
| AskJeeves are not exactly the pinnacle of search - they even had to buy Teoma to actually get proper search engine. They were however pushing for "natural language like" processing, which, given examples above, Kozoru seems to be inclined to like.

| kozoru's system will rank information by giving dictionaries, encyclopedias and news stories more credibility than subjective sources, thereby establishing confidence and authority. |
| I hope they are using other authority sources. Iw would be good if they do come up with a new platform and approach to solving search. But I do have doubts when I see a free web counter on the homepage of their site. Hopefully it is a subsidiary of theirs. They do have a good line up of people on their board. Good luck Kozuro.

| `We are trying to determine who the most authoritative sources are,'' he said. |
| So, I'm also assuming that their listings will be maintained more in the likeness of DMOZ and Yahoo!, using editors? This is the only way I can see the concept working since bots/scripts will always be inferior to the human eye.

Through my handy dandy Japanese dictionary I discover that Kozoru means: to assemble everything together FYI Muskie
