Munax Search Engine triumphs over Verity in Iceland
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Arlington, Texas - September 28, 2005 -- Leit (www.leit.is), the leading Search Engine in Iceland, has selected Munax (www.munax.com) to power their nation-wide Search Engine.
For years Leit has been the leading search engine in Iceland. Leit has until now been powered by Ultraseek owned by Verity (www.verity.com). As of August this year, after a very successful testperiod, a new generation of Search - Munax - has taken its place. Leit now confirms that Verity’s product Ultraseek was no match for Munax Search. Leit tested a range of search engines but none could beat the unparalleled performance, accuracy and features of Munax.
”Now we can serve our visitors with the largest Icelandic index and provide them with top speed and accuracy on page search, but not only that, we can serve any type of search like image, video, software and sound search”, says Mr. Pall Jonsson, the CEO at Leit.
To attract visitors and thereby stay in competition, Leit needed to upgrade to a cutting edge search technology. Munax challenged Leit and took it to a higher level.
”We expect to see an overall major increase in traffic when we activate Munax' awesome features. For the Munax image search alone, the traffic exploded the same day that we opened that feature, and we did not even advertise about it”, says Mr. Stigur Thorhallsson, CTO at Leit.
Leit further confirms that Munax will provide them with a new revenue source; Munax Site Search. It will enable Leit to sell out-sourced search to those companies that want an easy way to setup search on their sites.
MUNAX
Munax was created by Jan Olof Granlund, a Swedish computer scientist. The research and development of the Munax technology started in July 2002, and was completed in December 2004. Munax LLC was founded in Indianapolis, Indiana in January 2005 with its headquarters based in Arlington Texas.

All in one search,” says Thor Daniel Hjaltason, President of Munax LLC. We deliver the most relevant search results for users while lowering the cost for management to a minimum”.
