engines?

Microsoft : what is next for search
engines? 08/30/2004 03:44 PM
This week's edition of The Economist has an interesting piece in its technology section on search engines. Thankfully, not another critique of Google / its recent IPO, but at what we might expect of tomorrow’s search engines. The article talks about research, done by Microsoft, into search engines that can answer questions.

A very simplistic example of how the technology works is this. Imagine a search engine homepage with a text box, allowing you to pose any question - e.g. the question "When was Neowin founded?". The search engine computers would then take the phrase, break it down and manipulate it (in terms of structure, tense etc) and then run a search on that data. The search engine would then return a list of the results; more intelligent engines could discard many (e.g. "never" would be discarded) of the results and leave the users with a list of possible answers (e.g. 4).

The technology is still a prototype, and is currently called 'Ask MSR' (MS Research). Bink has a collection of links and papers by MS researchers on the topic. Technologies like these give search engines the edge, if, and it's a big if, they work well. Dr Brill, researcher working on the system, wants to develop something that might give a fifty word answer to your question (view his research paper - PDF | HTML). The Economist notes that the system works ~40% of the time; not bad, but still needing work.

Microsoft Unveils New MSN Search

Microsoft Unveils New MSN Search 07/01/2004 11:53 AM
“This morning, Microsoft unveiled its new MSN Search portal, a Web site that looks suspiciously similar to that of market leader Google. Microsoft’s search engine plans had been widely reported, but few had expected the new MSN Search to so closely resemble Google.com, especially after the Microsoft unit’s last major product, the MSN toolbar for Internet Explorer (IE), had so closely resembled Google’s toolbar. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but does site this go a bit too far?”
