Tweet This: OneRiot Now Diggs Up Realtime Search Results

OneRiot, the realtime web search engine, today announced that its search results pages now update in realtime as new, fresh, relevant content emerges on Twitter, Digg and the wider social web.

OneRiot crawls the links people share on Twitter, Digg and other social sharing services, then indexes the content on those pages in realtime. The end result is a search experience on OneRiot.com that allows users to find fresh, relevant content from across the realtime web.

“The potential of realtime search reaches far beyond the conversation stream around a keyword,” says Tobias Peggs, general manager at OneRiot. “By digging, tweeting or sharing links to webpages, people are signaling that the content on those pages is relevant to them right now. OneRiot takes those signals, indexes the webpage content, and returns that information in our search results in realtime.”

OneRiot also filters for spam and de-duplicates links shared through Bit.ly, TinyURL, Tr.im and other URL shortening services. This makes its search results not only realtime but also reliable. “We help users find socially-relevant content, filtering out the spam and noise,” said Peggs.

This shows the familiar looking title, snippet, and URL, plus who first tweeted or dugg it.

“Increasingly, the web’s most interesting content is what our friends and other people are talking about, sharing and looking at right now. Traditional search engines struggle to surface these fresh, socially-relevant results. That’s the hole – and it’s a big one – that OneRiot is filling,” Peggs continued.

Additionally, new advanced OneRiot search features include:

· Domain Buzz Query – Search for a specific domain name (e.g. http://www.altsearchengines.com) to determine what articles/posts from that publisher / blog have the most social relevance right now.

· Page Buzz Query – Search for a specific URL (e.g. a blog post) to find how many times that link has been dugg, tweeted or shared on the social web.

· First Shared Identifier – Learn who was first to share a particular link on the social web, and see their Twitter or Digg profile.

· Expandable Conversations – See what people are saying about a particular search result, and engage in a specific conversation around content.

· Results Page Filters – View OneRiot search results by “Realtime” or by “Pulse” – the company’s proprietary score of current social relevance.
