IBM's third-generation search tools

In fact, IBM has already released a new product, OmniFind, that is based on a potentially revolutionary new search strategy known as "unstructured information management architecture" (UIMA). Thus far, the results have been encouraging: "The combination of ever-faster computers and ever-evolving programming allowed the systems to succeed at tasks that have beaten their predecessors." Among those predecessors, of course, is Google.
