They are definitely a smart bunch of people but personalizing of deductive searches were done a before that. In fact yours truely already has a patent granted from his work out of Novell almost seven years ago that has a patent granted in this type of searching algorithm. " Predicate indexing for locating objects in a distributed directory". My doamin for the application of this patent was different. It was the Directory objects in an X.500/LDAP directory. Eric was the CEO then.<BR/><BR/><BR/>To answer the other queries, this type of searching logic does not limit your abilities to search for more relevant objects as generally these types of cached subsets get updated with new content when the search crawlers get more updated data results. In short if this is implemented properly, and in my mind I do not have the slightest doubt that the Google chaps have done a good and smart implementation, then you should have the most relevant results. I have also heard that elements of classification like the ones that Dr. Barney Pell is working on with his new startup will actually enrich these types of solutions by applying semantics to the search criteria.<BR/><BR/>Thx<BR/>sganguly@yahoo.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6569681.post-1157200287360280652006-09-02T05:31:00.000-07:002006-09-02T05:31:00.000-07:00My son just returned to Pittsburgh from a year in ...My son just returned to Pittsburgh from a year in France. If he now searches for 'Pirates' will he get results on Johnny Depp (lived in France, did a pirate movie)?<BR/><BR/>Personalized search will shuffle search results for the worse, not the better. Or at best, it will make no difference but will waste IQ talent.<BR/><BR/>There are better ways to improve the search experience.<BR/><BR/>- RaulAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6569681.post-1157196401869758962006-09-02T04:26:00.000-07:002006-09-02T04:26:00.000-07:00I wonder if this could potentially limit your acce...I wonder if this could potentially limit your access to information on the web. If I regularly search for keywords about one of my hobbies, high end audio, I may consistently use a word like "tube" looking for vintage vaccuum tubes for an amp. But if I am travelling to London, and search for London Tube (the transportation system), would I be more likely to have someone in London who supplies vacuum tubes arrive at the top of the list? This is just a random example, but would a system like this bury certain information further, making a less democratic search tool?<BR/><BR/>Likewise, would it become as annoying as the Amazon homepage where if I do a single search for a blender, or forget to remove a blender from my wish list - I am constantly staring at blenders on my Amazon homepage.<BR/><BR/>- <A HREF="http://www.danblank.com" REL="nofollow">Dan Blank</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
