TOKYO, JAPAN - June 1, 2000 - searchspell.com launches its web site, http://www.searchspell.com, the first web searching portal to incorporate an active spelling lookup system into web searching to provide optimal search results.

"Our research shows that misspelled web queries can reduce the number of results returned by the major search engines by over 99%," says Joe Petrow, founder of searchspell.com, "and it is very easy to accidentally type one word in place of another, such as 'hear' for 'here', or 'write' for 'right'. Normal spellcheckers can only check for a single correct spelling. Our lookup database can go beyond that, and strive to not just find a correct spelling, but the correct spelling for your query. We also analyze all user queries and, based on this data, add new misspelling information to the database everyday. So searchspell gets better and more accurate with every use."

Utilizing an extensive misspelling lookup database, searchspell is able to correct billions of potential typos, and is intelligent enough to find corrections for words with correct spellings. From there, searchspell allows easy access to search the optimized query with one of several affiliated search engines such as Google, Altavista, and Goto.com.
