02/01/2005 09:43 PMI see that Forrester’s excellent Charlene Li is
expecting MSN search to gain on Google. Her argument sounds
plausible, so I went and checked my logfiles. Since Sunday, I’ve had
1,222 people arrive at
ongoing via Google, 166
via search.yahoo.com, and 49 via MSN. If it gets a little closer,
I’ll start having to run a regular Search Market Share graph along
with my Browser Market Share offering.
Searching For CC on the Desktop
Searching For CC on the Desktop
06/17/2005 05:02 PMAs anyone who's looked at Mac OS X lately knows, one
of the major new features in 10.4 is Spotlight,
which allows you to search files on your computer based on specific
bits of metadata. The great thing about Spotlight is that it goes
beyond the traditional filename, changed date search and allows you to
search for things like Creator, Contents, Type, etc. It also provides
a way for 3rd party developers to create code which adds file types
and attributes to the system.
So you're saying to yourself, "gee, I have tons of music on my
computer, but what songs are CC licensed? I wish I knew." We can
help you with that. The CC Spotlight
Importer is an importer which adds CC license URLs to the list of
indexable metadata. While this is an early release, it includes a
simple Smart Folder which does just that.
Future versions will include the ability to search on specific
license attributes, and support for more file types. Got an idea for
improving it? Just drop me a line (nathan@creativecommons.org).
Enjoy!

Meanwhile, Jimmy Wales and others are working on Wikia, a wiki search
engine, and Wikipedia produces a nice diff feed. Adapting to
MediaWiki covers 1/4 of public wikis. There are well over 100
open source wikis, a wonderful diversity to respect, and search
engines
would do well to adapt to them over time just as they have with less
standard blog implementations.

SETI still searching for ET
SETI still searching for ET
09/02/2004 01:58 PMNews earlier this week that The Search for Extraterrestrial
Intelligence group, SETI, had found a signal from ET appears to have
been over blown. Described by SETI's chief Scientist, Dr Wertheimer,
as "hype and noise", he went on to say that it was
"nothing that is unusual. It's all out of proportion."
SETI takes data from it's Arecibo Aerial Telescope and distributes it
to its thousands of users world wide for analysis. The chunk that set
off last Thursday's media frenzy is called SHGb02+14a and was found by
computers running the SETI program in Germany and the US. In its 6
years of operation, SETI have found 150 chunks that are potentially
signals from ET; these 150 are found by statistical techniques
performed on the data, which ascertains the likelihood of it being
legitimate. Of the 150, so far 0 have been real.
SETI commented that "With Seti@home having analysed some 50
trillion frequency bands, it is not surprising that a signal like this
occurs purely due to chance." Looks like we'll see a 40th edition
of ET before ET really does phone home.

Searching for answers
Searching for answers
06/24/2005 07:35 PMDirecting queries through Internet search engines has become one of
the most popular online activities.
Statistics released from a new survey conducted by Harris Interactive
show that users accessed search engines more often than they used the
Net for entertainment, e-commerce or IM/chat. Over half of the
respondents (53%) said they used search engines most or every time
they went online, and only 4% said they had never used a search
engine. Only two activities were more popular than search: sending or
receiving e-mail (87%) and general Web surfing (55%).
How the respondents used search engines was also interesting. The top
reasons were for researching specific topics (88%), getting directions
or maps (75%), looking for news (64%) and shopping (51%). Internet
search engines also seem to be replacing the telephone for some tasks,
with a total of 54% reporting having used a search engine instead of
using a phone.
Different search engines seem to be better for searching for different
topics. For example, MSN and Ask Jeeves users were more apt to search
for medical and health information. Ask Jeeves users were also more
likely to look for maps and directions. Google users tended to search
more for news, perhaps a result of the Google News search page.
According to data from Nielsen//NetRatings, Google is by far the most
popular search engine in the US, with a 48% market share. Yahoo! is
next with 21%, followed by MSN with 12%, AOL with 5% and Ask Jeeves
with 2%. Google users are also the most loyal. Thirteen percent of US
adults who use Google use it exclusively, compared to 11% for AOL, 10%
for MSN, 7% for Yahoo!/Overture and 2.4% for Ask Jeeves.

Searching For Sound
05/27/2004 11:04 AMMany people have pointed out that search engines (yes, mainly Google)
are now the "front end to the internet." However, how does that work
when the internet is increasingly not just about text? Especially as
broadband catches on around the world, more and more content is audio
and visual content. Both new and old search engines are now
working on better ways to sort through
that content - using metadata and speech recognition to understand
what's being said. The article uses NPR as the main example,
describing how they use voice recognition technology to create
immediate transcripts of their audio, which are completely searchable.
They admit that these transcripts are later replaced by "more
accurate" human written transcripts, but that the automated ones work
well enough. The article also focuses on StreamSage, which seems to
be one of the more advanced tools. It uses voice recognition to
transcribe audio - but also tries to add in some contextual analysis
to create an automated "table of contents" for the file, so searching
through it is much easier.
Searching Newsgroups
Searching Newsgroups
08/07/2004 05:32 AMSearching Newsgroups by Jonathan Dubehttp://www.poy
nter.org/column.asp?id=32&aid=3128One of the handiest
online tools for reporters is one of the least-used: Usenet
newsgroups. They are basically a massive collection of topic-specific
bulletin boards that people post millions of messages to every day.
For years DejaNews.com made it easy for Web surfers to search and post
to newsgroups, but that site went bankrupt last year. Fortunately, the
popular search engine Google bought up DejaNews' archives and recently
unveiled a new site that every reporter should know how to use.
Google Groups is a searchable
database of the past 20 years of Usenet archives -- that's more than
700 million messages dating back to 1981, divided into 35,000 topical
categories! This will be added to the search engines section of

Searching Vs. Finding
Searching Vs. Finding
06/19/2004 05:50 AMSearching Vs. Finding by William A. Woods, Sun Microsystems
Laboratorieshttp://snipurl.com/73r2Finding information and organizing it so that it can be found are
two key aspects of any company's knowledge management strategy. Nearly
everyone is familiar with the experience of searching with a Web
search engine and using a search interface to search a particular Web
site once you get there. (You may have even noticed that the latter
often doesn't work as well as the former.) After you have a list of
hits, you typically spend a significant amount of time following
links, waiting for pages to download, reading through a page to see if
it has what you want, deciding that it doesn't, backing up to try
another link, deciding to try another way to phrase your request, et
cetera. Eventually you may find what you want, or you may ultimately
give up and decide that you can't find it. Why is this so difficult?

I had bookmarked in the years past. Here are the search engines that
