Search 2.0 promises to revolutionize basic search expectations through data visualization and sorting capabilities that will help business searchers drill down deeper into their search results so that they can quickly find, understand and analyze information. By entering one or two search terms, visitors can freely search Factiva content and receive headlines associated with their search results.
