About
Munax is a privately held Swedish company, headquartered in Stockholm. We develop large hyper-parallel execution (LHPE) search engine systems and deliver search solutions to search engines, mobile operators, corporates and individual sites. Products include Web Search Multimedia, Site Search (all-content) and Corporate Search. We also help our customers with Search Engine Optimizations.
The name of our company derives from Munin, one of the two ravens of the Norse Viking god Odin, and the binomial designation for the raven, corvus corax.
The story of Munax started in 2002 when Jan-Olof Granlund, in his spare time, begun the work on the specification of an all-content search engine. In 2005 the first design specification was completed, comprising things like five ranking algorithms independent of type of search, a unified file system and a messaging system interconnecting any number of computers (massive parallelism). The construction of PlayAudioVideo begun in June 2007 and was completed with the second beta in June 2008. Additional work, requested by the beta-testers, was completed in November 2008.
