Autonomy recruits army ants

Laura Smith

British search technology company Autonomy is to launch new tools, which it says will mimic the behaviour of ants, to improve the discovery of fresh information.

Traditionally, search engines have used 'spiders' to sort content, which are limited to static information. Autonomy's updated Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL) will deliver an alert when an information source changes, allowing it to access the data that is most up to date.

The Cambridge-based firm dubbed the new search method Intelligent Ant Technology after an analyst warned that the need to capture information from frequently updated sources such as company databases required systems to "look beyond the spider".

Nicole Egen, chief marketing officer at Autonomy, said its new IDOL software mimics the behaviour of ants by leaving behind a trail allowing future searches to know the best paths to take towards fresh, relevant results.
