A new search engine recently appears on the Internet : knuru.com knuru.com defined himself as a free next generation knowledge resource for business information.
knuru philosophy is quite close to Reportlinker'one : help user to identify information that can be found in the overcrowded world of general search engine.
The interesting features of this search engine is the two tabs in which they sort their product : - strategic results - news results
They defintely follow the trends of Hakia and Google, that we described earlier in this blog. Nevertheless, one differciation axe appear, since they sign an agreement with The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. They now allow information professionals to search for source in the business knowledge center of the business school.
knuru can be accessed via a Partner websites network, via knuru.com and can also be accessed (via a downloadable application) by users of Microsoft Office via the Research button.

Thanks for the heads up on this one. I've just gone and tried it. I recently contracted an agency to do press clipping for my company and this engine does it all for no charge. In fact, looking at the last 10 days it finds more media references than my agency does!
Excellent news coverage. One thing you don't mention is that it dynamically extracts the relevant contne t from articles so you don't have to do all the work and page jumping. Very useful indeed. I may be reviewing a few contracts.....!
