13 typical semantic search engines abroad, such as Hakia, SenseBot, Swoogle, Kngine etc. are collected. Through sites visiting and practical examples, the function position,search area,retrieval mode, especially search technique meaning-based and the display modes of results are investigated and deeply analyzed from the user perspective. The results indicate that, in contrast to a list of links, semantic search engines can provide accurate and direct answer for search queries, and offer more humanized, intelligent knowledge-based service to users. At last, the problems and limitations are discussed, the growing trends are presented.
