RCIS data
RCIS is a privately held company, setup in 2007 by a former search engine developer with 13 years of experience in search, index, data warehousing and performance optimization.
Microsoft certified and Sun SCA contributor for the Mysql project.
RCIS is basically a research company which is trying to crack the code of indexing the web while maintaining acceptable relevancy to a users query.
We have been doing research for about 3 years now and have tested a lot of techniques, assumptions, patents and algorithms.
Those 3 years of research have led to an unbelievable insight in how search engines like Google and Yahoo internally work.
A prototype is currently being build to test this knowledge.
Latest news; We have recently started with the adoptation of Hadoop in our engine core. Hadoop provides an infrastructure/framework for
creating distributed, multi-node applications. Task parallelism over nodes is required to analyze, reduce
and rank the huge amount of data collected by our (web-)crawlers. The Ylumi search engine project is still an experimental
prototype project, created by a former search engine developer and its main purpose is to provide insight into the specific problems
encountered in search engine development for the world wide web. The project might evolve to become a public search engine within a few years.
"We (always) optimize for ultra-speed."
Status SE: Hadoop implementation.
