Picsearch Partners with Seekport - Image search for the European search sites of Seekport Internet Technologies is now powered by Picsearch

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, 7 November, 2005 - Picsearch announced today that it will provide image search technology to the innovative European search company Seekport Internet Technologies. Effective immediately, this agreement sees Picsearch services incorporated into the country-specific search engines that Seekport owns and operates in Germany, the UK, France, Italy and Spain. "With Picsearch becoming a partner and supporting us, we have an outstanding technology to optimise our search image results", stresses Joachim Kreibich, Managing Director of Seekport Internet Technologies. Seekport, launched in Germany in June 2004, is a company at the forefront of search innovation. It offers European users country- and language-specific indexing that enables users to find results of the highest relevance and to escape much of the unhelpful 'info-junk' which they often encounter on other search sites. This new approach has been made possible by Seekport's creation of country-specific indexing teams that tailor search results for each market. Combined with vertical search capabilities, this makes Seekport an exciting alternative to the US-based search giants for European net users. "Picsearch works with many partners across the globe and we are always striving to provide net users in each different market with a high quality image search that meet their unique needs", said CEO of Picsearch, Nils Andersson. "Seekport is a company that shares this aim and I am delighted that our technology will be connecting its European users to the visual resources of the Net."
