 [Search-Science] Search Engine Meeting Low-Down (Boston): Main problems include too many interfaces and systems for searching are offered to users.  We need unified access not unified storage.  Information overload is becoming a serious problem and we need to start dealing with it properly.  How many times you access a particular file, and which topics you are normally interested in can help a great deal with information retrieval.  She refers to her "stuff-I've-Seen" (SIS) idea.  It just works on a simple hierarchy of folders.  As search providers, we need to supply fast, accurate and interactive results to the user when appropriate.  The user  should do nothing at all.  Meta-data is variable quality-wise due to the many different resources we use.  It can work for email because its rich and clean.  For the web little has been achieved with this method.  Some files are correctly returned but there is usually always something wrong.  Landmarks in data and searches are particularly important.  For example a student will remember reading a paper because it coincided with a deadline. There needs to be a distribution of results over time, and the key dependencies can be mapped using a graphical model.  For search providers, search should not be the end goal.  We need to understand the purpose of the users, obtain richer queries, enable integration so we don't have to open other windows to do search within a document or another web page.  Implicit queries (IQ), which are similarity metrics are being looked into by Microsoft.  An example is that 1 click can show all the relationships of a document to the rest of an email inbox, including emails, query words, author,...  The basic equation for a similarity score is score = tf doc/log(tf corpus + 1).

[dirtSimple.org] Eggs get closer to hatching...: For example, distutils packages have no reasonable way to specify dependencies, but they have only one real downloadable - the source. Conversely, eggs deal with dependencies quite smashingly well, but there are downloadables for each platform unless the package is "pure". These are very distinct problems, and after spending time early last year trying to do distutils dependency support, I concluded that the egg problems are much more solvable; you just need to be able to find out the download URL for your platform for a given egg, and the egg runtime can take care of the rest. (By which I mean that once you download the egg, the runtime can tell you what other eggs you need to download, if any.)

[Laserdude.hollosite.com] TECH BLOG: It was a nice site with high professional touch and simplistic words with good technical knowledge split over the entire portal .The person who owns this was a php,javascript professional.

[Staff.philau.edu] Internet Searching and Search Engines: SiteLines is actually a blog that Vine updates daily. The e-mail newsletter provides a compendium of stories that have appeared on the blog site. The site's stated goal is "to help web searchers stay up to date on key search tools and developments". If you don't need to keep that up-to-date with search engines and internet search techniques this e-mail could suffice, but if you want daily or weekly updates, either go directly to the blog site or consider the other sources on this page.

 [G7k.net] G7K Design ||||||||||||||||| Web Design Hosting Graphic Graphics ...: The same goes for javascrïpt and other non-html technologies; for the most part search engine spiders ignore what they don't understand and look for what they do understand- text. The words that are visible to people reading the page are the key element that search engine spiders use to determine what your page is about. (The other key element is links- we'll cover that in a future article.) Once the engine knows what the page is about, they can show that page to people who are searching for the words found on that page. That sounds pretty simplistic, but it's amazing how many pages only contain a picture and a few words, or flash animations, or other non-text items.

[Dylangreene.com] Dylan Greene dot com: One entry a day at most, once a week at least, like what Bungie.net did leading up to Halo 2. It must have an RSS feed, other sites must be able to link direct to the blog entries, and should include updates such as links to the newest 360 videos and announcements. This will get people to go to XBOX360.com on a regular basis and will get other sites to link to the 360 site more frequently.

 [Ischenko.blogspot.com] Max's blog v0.2.1: November 2004: The topics covered by these manuals/how-tos were rather routine (as it seems to me today) - things like modem setup, font setup, pppd configuration, etc. The distinguishing feature for most of the good ones is that they're tightly packed with useful information - often I had to re-read them in order to grok completely.
