Accoona, world's largest online business search engine, unveiled its Chinese Business Search Engine Monday in New York, which integrates a powerful business database search function, hence building up an efficient platform for cooperation between Chinese and global enterprises.

The Accoona Business Search Engine boasts the world's most comprehensive free online business information database of up to 35 million companies around the world, including millions of Chinese enterprises. It delivers the most relevant business search results using artificial intelligence technology that has the ability to "Super-Target" the results.

"Accoona's giant business database and advanced artificial intelligence search technology will help both Chinese and American business people to get better and faster information on the World Wide Web," said Zhao Qizheng, minister of China's State Council Information Office.

"I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulation to Accoona for building another convenient business information bridge between the East and West," he added.

"As Accoona's strategic Chinese partner, we will help more and more Chinese companies to find business opportunities through the Internet," said Zhang Ping, CEO of Chinadaily.com.cn.

Chinadaily.com.cn is the most influential bilingual Internet media in China and the official web destination of this fastest-growing economy in the world. Chinadaily.com.cn, in a 20-year exclusive partnership with Accoona Corp, holds an equity stake in the company.

The Chinadaily partnership is one of several impressive online collaborations Accoona Corp has forged since its inception, other US partners include Web leaders Yahoo! (NASDAQ: YHOO), and Answers.com (AMEX: GRU).

The Accoona search engine, launched at the end of 2004, is a revolutionary interactive search technology, combined with proprietary artificial intelligence software that understands the meaning of words. Accoona serves more relevant search results through its SuperTarget feature, comprehensive QuickProfile database, and sophisticated contextual and keyword search capabilities, which significantly differentiate Accoona in the search industry.

The latest highly-valued function of Accoona is that it incorporates Dun & Bradstreet Corp. (D&B) information on up to 14 million US companies. Founded in 1841, D&B is one of the world's largest providers of company credit evaluation and risk assessment. Now, with Accoona, people can access to D&B's business database information with just a click on the World Wide Web.
