By "helm" you mean "help"?

I've developed a new Internet search engine except it's very different from any other search engine (Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc.) and is more for discovery, recommendation, curation, notification, and subscription. Mostly it's for discovery and recommendation.

What Google, etc. do is part of what long ago the field of information retrieval characterized as just part of the problem, the part where the user knows that the content exists, knows they will like the content, and has keywords/phrases that characterize that content. For that part, Google, Bing, etc. work great. But, again, as has been known for decades, that's only part of the problem.

I'm attacking the rest of the problem, that is, where a user knows less about what they want. For that I derived some new mathematics, with some advanced prerequisites, with theorems and proofs, designed the business model, the user interface, the Web pages, the SQL database, the software and server farm architecture and the code, wrote the code, for the production code, 20,000 programming language statements in 80,000 lines of typing. The code is darned fast and appears to run as intended. Currently the code is in alpha test. Then beta test and going live.
