Seeking Better Web Searches
Deluged with superfluous responses to online queries, users will soon benefit from improved search engines that deliver customized results.
"Today's search engines have their roots in a research field called information retrieval, a computing topic tracing back nearly 50 years. In a September 1966 Scientific American article, ' Information Storage and Retrieval,' Ben Ami Lipetz described how the most advanced information technologies of the day could handle only routine or clerical tasks. He then concluded perceptively that breakthroughs in information retrieval would come when researchers gained a deeper understanding of how humans process information and then endowed machines with analogous capabilities. Clearly, computers have not yet reached that level of sophistication, but they are certainly taking users' personal interests, habits and needs into greater account when completing tasks."
