Kngine Launch Summer Updates

Today, Kngine announced the summer updates that includes the new user interface 'Ibiza', built-in statistics, and enhanced Question Answering:

 

  • 'Ibiza' user interface:

The interface of the search engine is a big challenge and we were busy during the previous months studying how the search interface should look like and users’ behavior as well. Finally, we now introduce the new user interface 'Ibiza' that is well designed and organized to gently view the search results.

We optimized the vertically space usage, we also changed the available results behavior, and the concepts selection section. For more information please check out our previous article Let's Makes Kngine Beautiful.

 

  • Built-In Statistics:

Previously we announced Kngine Stats, which is a Statistics platform that allows users to explore and understand a huge amount of information with ease. Now we bring these statistics into Kngine’s search. So, when a user searches about statistics or a question with historical data, Kngine will automatically return the answer in beautiful visual chart.

 

Here is some examples:

 

 

  • Enhanced Question Answering:

It's well known in Computer Science community that Kngine is the most powerful Question Answering System, now we roll out our biggest enhancement since the first launch in January. Now Kngine is capable of answering more complex questions and historical questions that no other Question Answering System can answer.

 

Here is some examples:

 

The summer updates will be fully deployed worldwide on Friday, July 2.

Let's Makes Kngine Beautiful

As part of our true effort to make Kngine the best search engine ever, we announced last week that Kngine become faster than ever before. So this week we would like to make Kngine more beautiful  and easy to use.

 

We plan to release the next generation of Kngine user interface that called 'Ibiza' next month.

 

About The Name?

The next release of Kngine that we plan to release it next month called 'Spain', so we choose Ibiza to be the name of our user interface because Ibiza defiantly is the most beautiful, sunny, and sexy place in Spain.

 

Ibiza Goals?

  • Optimize the vertical spaces: the Widescreen is now popular than before, so  optimize the vertical space was major goal for Ibiza.
  • Optimize the behavior of the Concept selection Section, and Available Results Section.
  • Fix some minor issues.

 

The Main Changes:

  • We realized that we don't use the orange results title bar effectively and the concept selection area was consume big vertical space, so in order to optimize the vertical space we decided to incorporate the concept selection area with the orange result title bar, see it:

 

  • We got many feedbacks about the behavior of the concept selection buttons,: Select different concept wasn't affect the available results section, which make our users wonder. With Ibiza we made the available results section belong to selected concept.

 

  • In the past selecting results from available results section was view it but below the visible results. Like this:

 

But we learned that this is not the best behavior, now select result will hide the other visible results.

 

Other Changes:

  • The share section will be visible by default.

 

You can check out some screen-shots here.

Finally, we hope you will love the new user interface, and we always looking for your feedbacks.

Kngine Stats Story, Tips, and Issues

We just released Kngine Stats two days ago, in last two days we got a very positive feedbacks about it, such as:

 

  • Kngine Stats is a great tool than encapsulates a lot of information in one place. very useful tool. via  Mahmoud Abd El-Fattah
  • صراحة يبدو جميل ومبتكر. via Teedoz
  • Kngine Stats is really amazing. via Email
  • Kngine Stats is great statistical tools with more than 360 statistics. via Email
  • I really was need it. via Facebook

 

One of the questions we got, what is the story behind Kngine Stats ?! So we decided to share Kngine Stats story with you:

 

The story start month ago:

In order to improve Kngine statistical capabilities, we decided to collect, organize, and index about 65 million record of statistical data from many reliable resources such as: UN, World Bank, CIA Factbook, and others.

 

When we finish collecting this information, we decide to release it in stand-alone application first, for benefit of all.

 

 

Tips:

  • View more than one subgroup?
  • How to get the link of the current statistic?
    • We just added a small text box bellow the sharing icons that content the link of the current statistic, so you can pass it to your friends!
    • The link/url of the statistic content the query that we perform to load the data. So you can tweak it!
  • How to get Pie  Chart?
    • As I said you can tweak the query to get more, currently you can get Pie chart by add the following text at the end of the url 'View:Pie' . Try it.

Known Issues:
  • in chart view only: When you select too many countries/companies the legend hide the char. We will fix it soon.
