Potential World-Wide Market (excerpt from website)
The world wide market opportunity for a net-server version of WordCruncher is over two billion dollars annually. Even at moderate penetration rates, the opportunity for WordCruncher and its investors is substantial. As any Internet user knows, finding information over the Internet can be a major task. "The need for the next generation of search tools is becoming critical", says Prabhakar Raghaven, an IBM researcher (Scientific American July 1998). "We feel WordCruncher Internet Technologies Inc. represents a real leap forward in search metaphors, in search and research tools, and in multi-lingual searching", says Mr. M. Daniel Lunt, President and CEO.
