Xerox has announced the introduction of FactSpotter, which it bills as "new document search software that goes beyond conventional "keyword" search, enabling it, in effect, to spot the one or two golden nuggets among the pebbles on the shore".

space more competitive than it was 10 years ago. Stay tuned.
In the "hindsight" department, we acknowledge that we missed Mike Lynch in FT
in April of 2006 predicting that "Simple keyword
search will probably be free by the end of 2006". In an article about
Google's push into the enterprise search space, Mike is quoted as
saying about the low end of the search market:

Simple keyword search technology will probably be free by the end of
the year.
Kudos for his call!
