New search startup GetReview.Ru

We want to bring to your attention a search startup GetReview.Ru .

Let's start with the task.

Each of us somehow faced the problem of choosing goods. The range of products on the market is usually quite large and it often turns out that there are several products with the characteristics we need.
')
The responsible buyer, before making a decision, reads on the Internet reviews of goods of interest to it and makes a choice only after reworking a large number of review and comparative materials on the topic. We are doing a project that is designed to help such buyers in finding the necessary information.

The idea of ​​thematic search engines is not new, but we saw that in this niche you can make an interesting and very useful project, which is not in this niche now. It is also an opportunity for us to practice and improve our level in search technologies. Another job in this niche allows you to look differently at the options for search results, to solve specialized tasks in the field of searching and analyzing textual information that search engines of a general orientation do not and will not solve.

What makes our project, and how is it different from others?

We index only specialized sites that publish technology reviews. The most famous such sites are 3dnews.ru , THG.ru , ixbt , zoom.cnews.ru , but there are many others. We index these sites with a special spider that downloads only reviews, highlights the dates of publication of reviews, can index multi-page reviews, sticking together several web pages into one review, can determine the link to the print version of the review. Having collected all this information, our service provides the ability to search among these sites, which excludes the possibility of search engine spam in the system. At the same time, the relevance of the issue depends on the date of publication of the review and on its size, number of photos and video materials in the review, etc., which allows us to improve the issue. Also, after the search, the user can filter the results by the most important attributes for him (the novelty of the review, its size, the presence of photos, etc.).

We differ from ordinary search engines in a more uniform and relevant issue, for example, we choose a 22-inch monitor and want to read what we have to choose.

An example of the issue of the request “monitor 22” in GetReview and also, for comparison, a slightly more precise query “monitor 22 review” on Google and Yandex .

As we can see, the result in GetReview is cleaner and better, and in standard search engines, online stores and forums and just links to sites that write reviews are mixed into the output. At the same time, there is no way to filter the results in standard search engines.

What questions we would like to discuss with you:

1. On the Internet, not many sites write reviews on the technique. For some, even the popular model reviews almost none. The question is why manufacturers do not write reviews on their product or do not stimulate their writing? In our opinion, this should be the first line of the advertising budget.
2. How do you rate the usefulness of such a service and its prospects?
3. What functionality do you think our service lacks?

We also invite you to subscribe to our project blog . We plan to discuss there both questions and news of the project, as well as specific problems related to search, indexing, classification, etc. We would be glad to see IR specialists on our blog.
