It is like delivering ten relevant results to just one search query. The galleried categories are meaning-based aspects of the searched topic. This is a step toward meaning-based search. hakia Galleries, immediately available at www.hakia.com, cover a broad range of topics: medical diseases, company profiles, resumes on cities and countries, sports figures, political figures, and entertainers. Some examples of the thousands of hakia Galleries currently online include Anna Nicole Smith, Pokemon, Tokyo, Red Sox, cancer, chocolate, Vioxx, cello, and George Washington. For example, a "chocolate" query at hakia delivers a "Gallery", search results that are displayed in a categorized view by meaning-based aspects of "chocolate". Chocolate categories include, "Headlines," "Profile of Chocolate," "Famous Chocolate Producers," "Classification of Chocolate," "Blogs," "News," "Extended Bibliography," "Chocolate Quotes," and "Images and Photographs." In essence, the hakia Galleries displays search results to many chocolate related queries. Unlike Wikipedia or Answers.com, hakia Galleries presents pure Web search results which are neither edited by hakia, nor by the visitors. Each gallery category displays the Web search results with a link to its source which is essential in judging the credibility of the information. According to Dr. Riza C. Berkan, CEO of hakia, "Search should not be an endless, repetitive task. A search engine should anticipate meaningful variations of a short search query. hakia Galleries frees you from trying 10 or more variations of the same search term. It provides you with a complete survey of the given topic. This is the future and another step towards meaning-based search." The coverage of hakia Galleries will expand continuously throughout 2007 via an automated "distillation" algorithm.
