Problem
Currently the Internet is not User-friendly. The quantity of information on the Internet doubles every four months, yet Users cannot find what they really want.Solution
UniSearch search vehicles use innovative logic to surmount the problems of search engines extant on the Internet market - they address sufficiently and effectively individual User's needs.Methodology
The Triad: Nouns-Verbs-Adjectives. The Unisearch methodology is grounded on the matching procedure of the nouns-verbs-adjectives. Triads taken from the User's "search text" and profile to the nouns-verbs-adjectives Triads from Standardized Internet items.User Interface
Users are organized into "Families". A "Family" is an community of Users with similar profiles.Internet Interface
The items on the Internet - e.g., sites, newsgroups - are constructed in "Countries", "Cities", etc. according to similarity in their profiles.Greater Convenience, Greater Accuracy
Associations of profiles - "Families ", " Countries ", "Cities", etc. - allow the program to employ the search vehicles that will reliably distill an ever-expanding pool of objects, words, and numbers into a flow of the most precious information: the information User wants.Commercial Implications
Unisearch and its text-retrieval-and-delivery-purchases services UniZone, UniDesk, UniPublishing, etc. will bring Personalized Information to Users and Service Providers.

Currently, there are dozens of search engines
that attempt to guide User to Internet locations
containing something that User wants to access.*Altavista prompts User to enter a complete, interrogative sentence ("Ask Altavista a question"); however, the search engine uses only the key words within User-posed question to perform the search. Hence, despite its User-friendly "Question and Answer" interface, AltaVista's searching capabilities are equivalent to that of its competitors.
All of the extant search engines (e.g., Yahoo, AltaVista, Hotbot, Excite, Google) use a similar method to connect User with to desired content: User enters a few key words or a sentence* which characterizes a subject, and the search engine seeks out locations - i.e., Web sites and newsgroups - where the key words can be found.
Extant search engines seek Internet locations only by the keywords entered in the search A great number of search engines on the market compete for User attention and advertising dollars. Although currently there is seeming plurality of search engines, they all are designed on similar grounds and therefore have yielded similarly inconsistent search results.
Consumer attention and advertising dollars are currently spread thin among several keyword-driven search engines. There is no personal approach to Users.

| The lack of personal approach of current Internet keyword-driven search engines results in lengthy and futile chase for information User needs |
Since current Internet keyword-driven search engines seek out instances of User's key words without accounting for text analysis,searches for specific information usually produce an inconsistent list of Internet locations. Some of the listed sites may contain desired content, some may not. Most frequently, the detailed search will not result in User directly accessing (i.e., jumping from the hyperlink on the result list to desired content) the information he or she requires.

| 1. Desired Content: User needs to obtain information on computer-based music graduate programs in New York City. The User enters the key words "Graduate school," "computer," "music," and "job." The search engine seeks locations with these key words. ![]() |
![]() |
| 2. Results: None of the top 5 listed sites in this result list guide User directly to information about a graduate program specializing in computer-based music in New York City. Some of the links pertain generally, and might get the User to some desired specific content. However, the User would have to jump between pages within a site and/or to jump to other sites several times. But there is no direct access (jump directly from search engine results to desired content). |
3. Potential Transaction(s) Lost:The time the user spent on attempt to locate the right site could have been used requesting information, filling out an application, registering for classes, or taking an on-line courses. |

The Goal: Direct Access
To capitalize on the inherent advantages of the Internet - e-commerce, advertisements, etc. - UniSeacrh gives User personalized access to information, which in turn grants User what he or she really wants.The Method: Unisearch's Functional Logic Recognizes the User as Individual
Instead of impersonal logic, UniSearch delivers texts, purchases and advertisements based on each User's unique immediate and unexpressed interests.Implications for e-commerce, e-advertisement, etc.
Learning Users' immediate and unexpressed Interests. Learning Languages Patterns of each User. "Fingerprinting" the Users.

UniSearch is superior to all extant search engines because it offers a personalized search design: UniSearch treats each User as an individual
- Each User of the Internet is an individual with distinct interests, and with variety of purposes for utilizing the Internet.
- UniSearch guarantees consistent, direct access to the User's desired content because it "recognizes" User's immediate and unexpressed interests.
- UniSearch provides a list of sources of acquired information on the basis of entered "search text" (see p.7) and individual profile.
- UniSearch not only processes Users' statements of interests, but also saves information about Users' interests in profiles permanently updating them.

The Fingerprint: Individuality as Complex, yet Finite
An actual fingerprint is a complex, yet finite arrangement of lines on an individual's finger. The ways in which the lines are arranged vary infinitely from person to person, thus each person's fingerprint is unique.
Paradoxically, the complexity of the fingerprint is that an essential characteristics, which makes it to identify a person. Multiple lines compose patterns, and the patterns - though they're a tiny part of the corporeal being - yield a definitive identification of the person.

Linguistic Fingerprinting: Vocabular and Syntactic Limits
Similarly, an individual language is complex, but finite. (Even the most educated philologist does not use more than 25,000 words.) A structure within User's texts is analogous to the lines of a fingerprint, and User's juxtaposition of combinations of words is analogous to the pattern created by the lines.
- Such factors as psychological type, life experience, socioeconomic status, level of education, etc. - the result of User's development (User's background) - contribute to determining frequency of occurrences of noun-verb-adjective combinations within User's texts.
- User tends towards certain Language Habits, that is the choice of particular language patterns.
- Each linguistic pattern reflects various factors of User's background. Therefore, User's Language Habits are unique and allow to construct personal profile.
- Personal profile and "search text" address the immediate and unexpressed User's request. ("Search text" represents the immediate request to access specific information when profile helps to identify an unexpressed one.)
- UniSearch takes the initiative to offer not only the information directly requested by User (immediate request), but also includes information to satisfy the unexpressed request (based on the personal profile) - Users get the information they really look for even if they cannot express their requests.

The Fundamental Triad of Language: Nouns, Verbs, and Adjectives.In order to understand UniSearch's functional logic, it is necessary to admit that either nouns or verbs or adjectives are present in any sentence.
The total frequency of occurrences of nouns-verbs-adjectives combinations within meaningful sentences in texts is unique for each User. The frequency of occurrences varies from User to User due to his or her background: psychological type, life experience, socioeconomic status, level of education, etc.

How Triads Functions within UniSearch:UniSearch methodology is grounded on the matching procedure of the nouns-verbs-adjectives Triads taken from User's "search text" and personal profile to the nouns-verbs-adjectives Triads from the Internet items.
UniSearch employs Triads extracted from the "search text" and User's profile with Triads of items on the Internet (which are standardized)

In order to track all migrations within communities of Users - "Families" - as well as within constantly transforming content of the Internet, UniSearch permanently updates its database.
- Insomuch as Users change over the time their Language Habits change too. Updating of UniSearch database aims to transfer "Families Members" from one "Family" to another as soon as their linguistic preferences are modified.
- The Standard Map of the Internet is updated permanently by picking up all changes of all items on the Internet.

As a medium, UniSearch on the Internet has the potential to revolutionize commerce.
First, UniSearch e-commerce is convenient: it presents marketers the opportunity to let consumers see, hear, and/or read descriptions of products from any Internet-equipped computer. Once the consumer has reached the site he or she wishes to find using UniSearch, purchasing requires minimal effort and is efficient.
Secondly, UniSearch e-commerce facilitates "personalized purchasing": User has made the effort to find a specific item on the Internet based on his or her interests; therefore, he or she is more likely to purchase an advertised product or service at an Internet location containing desired content.
