Walmart has jumped into the world of high tech by introducing a new search engine for its website. The search engine called Polaris, was developed by Walmart’s own in-house team @WalmartLabs. Early testing on Polaris shows that the new search has increased online sales by 10-15%.
Searching for a shopping result is very different from conducting a general search. Polaris is based on the Social Genome project, a platform that connects people to places, events and products giving Walmart a richer level of understanding about customers and products
