Oodle does have ways to go on improving their search technology, but I still believe they are unique positioned in terms of their product. I think this is even more apparent when comparing Oodle\'s positioning with users compared Edgeio\'s. Jeff,

Thanks for the comment.

However, Oodle fails to return consistently relevant search results. Case in point,a search for an 'insurance specialist' job returned a position for 'Forklift Drivers and Material Handlers'. Oodle's inabiity to discern the contextual relationship of search keywords marginalizes the user experience. Clearly, it can (must) do better. After all - isn't that why we call it search!
