hakia ScoopBar Firefox Version Immediately Available

hakia ScoopBar™ which eliminates "double searching,"
enables the user to find and scoop relevant search results faster.


NEW YORK, NEW YORK, -- October 2, 2007 - hakia.com, the Web's new meaning-based search engine, announced today that it has released a Mozilla Firefox version of the hakia ScoopBar™. A Microsoft Internet Explorer version was released in July.

The hakia ScoopBar™ is the first Web search tool that, in one click, highlights the relevant text in response to your search and locates the text by scrolling automatically to that portion of the Web page. This feature eliminates the arduous task of "double searching," whereby a user typically opens a page and then has to manually search through that Web page and multiple occurrences of keywords in a document for the desired answer. This detection of relevant search information is now faster and more effective than today's common practice of merely identifying multiple keywords within a page.

In addition, the ScoopBar's "Scoop 'n Save" feature is a quick way to capture (scoop) the relevant section of a Web page and save it on the user's local computer. The saved results are accumulated in a local hakiaResults.html page (or on another page as defined by the user) and are easily accessible for future use as a research companion.

"The interest in the hakia ScoopBar has been very high since we introduced it in July. Our number one question has been, 'When will you have a Firefox version?' The answer is now. The ScoopBar solves the problem that when most people search, they have to search and search again through a results page to find the relevant text. We save you time," said Dr. Riza C. Berkan, founder and CEO of hakia.com.
