Kngine Launch Summer Updates
Today, Kngine has 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, that is why we were busy during the previous months studying how the search interface should look like and users’ behavior as well. Finally, we are happy to introduce the new user interface 'Ibiza' that is well designed and organized to smoothly 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, whenever a user searches about statistics or a question with historical data, Kngine will automatically return with the answer in a beautiful visual chart.
Here are some examples:
- United States, China, and Russia Wheat production in last twenty years
- People under poverty line in Egypt, US, UK, and Russia
- Egypt GDP between 1999 and 2005
- Apple Revenue in 2005
- Fertility rate in Germany and UK
- Who was the president of France between 1960 and 2000
- 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 .
Here are some examples:
- Apple Revenue in 2005
- Who was the president of France between 1960 and 2000
- What is the Unemployment rate in Taiwan
- Issyk Kul depth
- Who won Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1999, 2000, 2001

Let's Makes Kngine Beautiful
As part of our true efforts to make Kngine the best search engine ever, we have announced last week that Kngine become faster than ever before. So this week we would like to make Kngine more beautiful and more easy to use than ever before too!.
We plan to release the next generation of Kngine user interface that called 'Ibiza' next month.
About The Name?
The next planned release of Kngine next month is called 'Spain', so we chosed Ibiza to be the name of our user interface because Ibiza is Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE AR-SA definitely the most beautiful, sunny, and sexy place in Spain ,Make sense ha ?.
Ibiza Goals?
- Optimizing the vertical spaces: the Widescreen is now popular than before, so optimize the vertical space was major goal for Ibiza.
- Optimizing the behavior of the Concept selection Section, and Available Results Section.
- Fixing some minor issues.
The Main Changes:
- We realized that we are not using the orange results title bar effectively and the concept selection area was consuming 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 recieved many feedbacks about the behavior of the concept selection buttons like Selecting different concept did not effect the available results section, which make our users wonder. With Ibiza we made the available results section related to the selected concept.
- In the past selecting results from available results section was viwed but below the visible results. Like this:
But we have learned that this is not the best behavior, now selecting the 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 love the new user interface, and we are always looking for your feedbacks.
