Xilinx Announces Kanji SmartSearch on Japanese Website SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 14, 2000--Xilinx, Inc. (Nasdaq:XLNX - news) announced today a Kanji version of their popular programmable logic oriented search engine, the SmartSearch tool. This Kanji version is available on the Xilinx® Japanese web site, xilinx.co.jp. Kanji SmartSearch provides the equivalent functionality of the SmartSearch tool on the English version of the Xilinx home page, xilinx.com and is fully Japanese-enabled. Visitors to the site can look for information in Japanese or English through content available on www.xilinx.co.jp as well as in other sites in the programmable logic industry. This is a significant enhancement from the previous search functionality feature on the Japanese site that only allowed English characters. ''Xilinx is the first and only programmable logic supplier to successfully implement full Japanese-enabled search functionality into its dedicated Japanese Internet site,'' said Miniko Pettersen, manager, International Interactive Marketing at Xilinx. ''We are positioning the company to be a truly global resource in our customers' markets. Now Japanese designers can have native language access to the full content of the Xilinx Web site, making it much easier and faster for them to find the information they need.'' In addition to searching with Japanese keywords, Kanji SmartSearch allows site visitors to designate topics, sections of content, and product lines as a part of the Xilinx site search parameters. With these elements, a focused search delivers more accurate results. The Kanji SmartSearch tool is available not only to search at www.xilinx.co.jp, but also other programmable logic industry sites including those of EDA partners, electronics distributors, industry trade publications, and other device suppliers. The users can search for Japanese keywords on multiple sites simultaneously. As most sites do not offer their own Japanese search capability, programmable logic designers can use on www.xilinx.co.jp with Kanji SmartSearch tool as the main portal for the latest information in both Japanese and English. Xilinx launched its Japanese site less than two years ago, the first of its kind in the industry, as a mirror of the complete, award-winning English language Xilinx site -- www.xilinx.com. Japanese users can access www.xilinx.co.jp directly from a Kanji button on the main Xilinx web site at www.xilinx.com, or go directly to xilinx.co.jp.
