New Search Engine “Hunch” launches today

Posted on Monday, June 15, 2009 in Topical News, Web 2.0, Webhead

A co-founder of the popular photo site Flickr just announced the official launch of her new search engine “Hunch” today. The team has raised $2 million in funding. The engine asks you a series of questions to narrow down what results to provide.

While it doesn’t “know” a lot right now, the whole engine is built on machine learning that will improve accuracy and breadth with use and time.

I asked it what I should have for lunch and it did manage to figure out I was in the mood for spicey food. I then went to Noodle Box and MAN did lunch hit the spot! Hunch’s hunch was right ;)
