Linux Distributor LINSPIRE embeds search feature in its newly upgraded operating system, search on news or products, simply selecting highlight words in web or email.
The company's predecessor is Lindows, which introduces new "Hot Words" search technology in its latest upgrade operating system on October 28.
Michael Robertson, CEO of Linspire, believes that the operating system with search capabilities will have a huge impact on the market.
In his website, it is mentioned in the open letter of all linspire users: "I believe that there is no need to travel too long, then go to Google Site to search, just like it to go to Blockbuster (a store in the United States to provide online image product rental) Like a rental tape, it is unnecessary and old way. "
Robertson determines that the search function is binding in the operating system, and the content searches will become more efficient, easier, and the user has less time. Users don't have to copy, scrap keywords to Google or Yahoo search toolbar, just highlight words or sentences, then click, immediately access the search, shopping or news retrieval.
Another feature of this search is that automatically labeled the keyword that the user may search with a fine green underscore. The mouse slides over and stays on these words, and the search option will appear without tap.
In the linspire system, each page, each message is integrated into the "Keyword" technology, and users can maximize the needs of the search by finer. Robertson believes that integrating searching technology into the operating system is a general trend, and Linspire is just a first step towards this direction.
But he does not think that traditional search technologies will completely disappear. In fact, the search engine used by Linspire is from Google and Yahoo.
On the occasion of the competitors Microsoft updated its search tool, Linspire's new search technology is also directly hit the market. Robertson believes that the emergence of this new feature will force Microsoft to upgrade browser technology than expected.
He said: "Microsoft's current situation is very good, because they control browser and search technology. It is facing them, that is, before the launch of Longhorn, they don't plan to upgrade the browser, and Longhore is expected to complete in 2006. I think the pressure around the search field will force them to launch a new browser. "
