This is the second patent for Vortaloptics’ vertical search software, the company that I work for, and the first patent that I’ve been awarded as a co-inventor, along with my husband, David Gosse and other members of our team. It’s exciting to be part of a team that is working hard to build better on-site search applications and to see the hard work and dedication rewarded with an official U.S. patent!
This patent describes part of our proprietary software that gives Vortaloptics clients more control over their search databases and how the search results are displayed for the end user.
Most search platforms consolidate multiple databases into one single end-user results format, but the level of control over how and where results are displayed can be sparse for many applications. This software provides granular control over which datasets are shown, what types of results are displayed and the exact prioritization of the results (if desired). Algorithms do the grunt work while humans are allowed to perfectly refine the end results to best fit the business model of a website and the needs of its end users.
The software is deployed in various vertical channels such as education websites, the multifamily industry, radio and TV sites and local search destinations.
The Vortaloptics team is looking forward to a productive and inventive year ahead.
