Nstein Technologies announced the release of a new product, Semantic Site Search (3S) to their enterprise content management solution.

“3S is a front-end, multi-index search engine designed to provide users an unparalleled search experience,” said Nstein CTO Jean-Michel Texier. 3S leverages Nstein’s patented text-mining technology to power a faceted site search which returns highly accurate results that are organized categorically.

Clients such as Trancontinental Media use the Nstein solution to power several of the media company’s online publications.  With the addition of 3S, company’s can now index content across multiple properties and 3S will be able to identify concepts, categories, proper names, places, organizations, sentiment and topics in particular content pieces and then annotates those documents, creating a semantic fingerprint that exposes underlying nuances and meaning in content.

Another Nsten client, Gesca Digital is planning to utilize the new offering which will allow them to create  topical microsites or mashup sites as easily as inputting searches.
