- Keep. I'm not an expert or anything, but it seems Hakia was one of the pioneers of
semantic search and
natural-language searchat a time when Google and others cared more about keywords and less about context. Some coverage I found on a short GBooks/GNews/Highbeam search:

Hakia conducts searches based on meaning, instead of popularity of key words or phrases. However, more popular approaches rely on statistics, which analyzes millions of words in a text and looks at what words occur frequently around other words.
