http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/02/10/0127238 from the bathwater-around-the-baby dept. Rican writes "MSNBC has an interesting article about how 'Googledorks' are using the powerful search engine to do searches across the web for sensitive and/or private information. Some of this information includes 'Medical records, bank account numbers, students' grades, and the docking locations of 804 U.S. Navy ships, submarines and destroyers.'"

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.

Microsoft : what is next for search

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.

Search Engines -- The Future


Search Engines -- The Future 04/13/2004 06:11 AM
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.
