Next Generation of Internet Search Engines
February 19, 2004 - Toronto, ON - NAC Geographic Products (NACGEO) and Metamend today announced that the two companies have reached an agreement in an Internet search engine service. According to the agreement, Metamend is to optimize the meta tags and add a new meta tag to every web page of its clients and submit them to the database of NACGEO's Mobile Location Based Services Network (MLBS.NET). The new meta tag called NAC (Natural Area Code) tag (e.g. <meta name="NAC" content="8CNJ Q8ZG">) adds a new layer of power - location as a search variable that will enable Internet search engines to make accurate location based searches. A NAC tag will specify the exact location of a business anywhere in the world to a resolution of 30 meters for an eight character NAC and one meter for a ten character NAC. An eight or ten character NAC is also called a Universal Address because it can unique specify every building, house or other fixed object in the world. Universal Addresses can be directly measured and navigated by GPS receivers, and pinpointed on all maps with Universal Map Grids. The short high resolution Universal Addresses can be included on yellow pages, travel directories and business cards. The NAC tag not only makes location based searches possible, but also turns a keyword matching search into an accurate location based search. This greatly simplifies and speeds any location based search, compared with the algorithm that computes and compares distances. See Press Release on Feb. 19, 2004
