Search technology has become ubiquitous among Internet users. Who among us doesn’t find themselves using search on a daily—often hourly—basis? It’s become virtually a Web given: Find white rectangle, start typing. It’s what we expect; it’s what we do.
But while search has achieved deep penetration into the nooks and crannies of the Web environment, much remains to be achieved to plumb the depths of search’s potential. While the technology has come a long way in recent years, it’s still in its infancy. Much work remains to enable users to gain effortless access to the information they seek.
