Search Engines: A Mixed Bag: A Review of Some New Search Engines by Phil Bradley
http://www.ari adne.ac.uk/issue40/search-engines/

People are of course aware that Google isn't the only search engine out there, by any manner or means, and although many people regard it as the biggest and the best, this certainly isn't the case for those organisations who decide that they want a share of the search engine market. Phil Bradley looks at some of the new search engines that have appeared, and will see how many of them make the grade. Reviewed are:

3-D Search Engines


3-D Search Engines 04/16/2004 11:45 AM

Researchers develop 3-D search engine: Are their search engines that match pictures? If I had, say, a picture of a certain building (with NO metadata), could a search engine find me pictures that looked the same? That'd be nifty.

...computing researchers have developed new search engines that can mine catalogs of three-dimensional objects, like airplane parts or architectural features.

All the users have to do is sketch what they're thinking of, and the search engines can produce comparable objects.

Manipulating Search Engines


Manipulating Search Engines 03/19/2005 02:23 AM

Wired has a great article online about Greg Boser who gets paid to make your website rank higher in the search engine results. We all know that it’s not as easy to change rankings as it was 10 years ago, but it still can be done. He get’s most of his clients through speaking engagements and gets paid on the results he gets. As he says in the article, “We make lot more money doing this.” here is some of the comments about search engines and manipulating them he had to say…

 "I could create a blank page without a keyword anywhere present, or a 404 error message, and if I can get enough sites to link to it, I could get it to place first on Google," Boser said. But it's not just quantity, it's quality. Theoretically, Boser could have five inbound links and end up as the No. 1 result -- provided they originated from mega sites like Yahoo and MSN. Barring that, 5,000 links from cheesy guest books, online diaries, blogs, zany products, porn sites and anyone who honors link exchanges might do the trick…  There are other techniques designed to fool search engines. One consists of cloaking pages by hiding text in website backgrounds in a way that users won't see but that targets Google's ranking technology. Another method is link spam, aka "blog comment spam," in which automated bots plaster ads with return links on the comments pages of blogs. Most common are ads for pills, porn and casinos. Finally, there is "search spam," which are machine-generated pages designed to appear in the engines to attract traffic (and ultimately increase revenue).

Look What The Search Engines Dragged In!


Look What The Search Engines Dragged In! 04/15/2005 03:49 PM
A month ago, we had a post called Naked Women And Wireless Security, which I started out by noting: "Yes, I'm a bit worried about what kind of people will find this post via Google in a few days..." Apparently, I was right to be worried. Someone posted a comment saying that we were the #2 result on Google for naked women (we're number 4 as of this posting). In checking over Techdirt's traffic logs, we realized that we were getting a lot of traffic from that search... and also from MSN where it turns out we're (as of this posting) the number one search for nake d women.

As a few of us here were chuckling over the somewhat random influx of confused search engine driven visitors, someone dropped us a bit of feedback reminding us of an old post where we mentioned the various oddities we saw in people who found specific stories via Google, and asked us to revisit the subject. Like many sites, obviously, we get a fair amount of traffic from search engines (mainly Google) on completely random searches. Many of the people who visit are (I assume) well meaning -- but confused to the nature of what they've stumbled on. Perhaps it's an interface issue on our part, but the ensuing comments and conversations are often amusing.

The all time record holder, which keeps getting updated is this conversation (mostly of people who are not well meaning) from 1999 on someone who was stealing AOL passwords. It appears that somewhere (no idea where) there's a search that people are doing on how to steal AOL passwords, and they're driven to this particular posting -- which now has a ridiculously long comment thread from clueless folks trying to break into AOL accounts, and a bunch of scammers trying to steal their AOL passwords back. Then, there's the VPR Matrix support thread. When Best Buy announced their own computer line under the VPR Matrix brand name, we were skeptical. However, our post made it to Google, and people apparently began to think that it was the VPR Matrix support/fan forums. We also had a brief claim to fame in 1999 when the first news was leaked that CBS was going to have a show called Survivor. For a while, we were the top result on Lycos (which was still popular then) for "CBS Survivor" leading people to try to get on the show by posting comments right here at Techdirt. Another popular one (and I don't know how people are finding this one) is a story we had from 2000 about some random dot com millionaire who planned to give away millions to educational causes in Central America. For some reason, people who are down and out on their luck have found this page and continually comment (there were two comments yesterday, even) begging for money from this guy -- as if he was reading the forum. This particular posting has also resulted in a number of random emails (no explanation included) to Techdirt's feedback line, explaining horrible life stories and begging for money. While we'd love to help people out, we're not dot com millionaires, and aren't really in a position to make much of a difference.

Anyway, this is all a nice little reminder that the various search engines are still far from perfect when it comes to understanding what people are really searching for. In the meantime though, it provides us a bit of amusement, as we ponder what people searching for porn must think as they stumble upon Techdirt.

Finding what you need with the best search engines. This is a collection of search engines and similar resources that Phil Bradley uses on a regular basis when he is looking for different types of information. It's not an exhaustive list, nor is it comprehensive. It's a list of what he personally finds very useful. Phil states that other similar lists exist - he's not pretending that his is original in concept. You might also want to try the following resources as well:

Search Engines -- The Future

Search Engines -- The Future by Gary H. Anthes
http://snipurl.com/5o0u

Most information junkies would be hard-pressed to name anything that has transformed their professional lives as much as Internet search engines have. The miraculous devices can take your hot topic of the day, scan millions of Web pages and in seconds bring back product announcements, research papers, the names of experts and more—things that would be difficult or impossible to find otherwise. But as powerful as they are, search engines have huge weaknesses. For example, a recent Google search on the word Linux took just 0.4 seconds, but it had 95 million hits. Too bad if the one you need is No. 10,000 on the list. But researchers are poised to revolutionize search technology over the next few years.
