Posted by – August 28, 2009

HP and IIT Mumbai were working together to make a online search very useful and meaningful.Last year, Hewlett-Packard (HP) Labs initiated open research grants to many universities worldwide. That grant opportunity was given to the Computer Science Department of Indian Institute of Technology, Mumbai.

Professor and students are working on a new search engine which would push the web to provide relevant answers to queries. This search engines project may finish within this year. The students and professors are working hard to get good results in end.

They are mainly concentrating on quick access of data, last result of this project was very encouraging to the IIT team they get their answers for their quieries within 2-5 seconds. They have tested this search by loading 500 billion websites.The data is being churned on 42 high-end HP servers with over 350 gigabytes of RAM and over 150 terabytes of disks.But still they are finding some difficulties in thier project so they are trying to avoid these results.
