I'm currently working on a project that uses massive manual research labor to create a context sensitive search engine. I would like to know what kind of QUESTIONS you normally have in mind when you run a Google search? ie., do you have a mental checklist that you instantaneously run through when looking at search results to help you decide which link to click.
Microsoft recently decided not to buy GOOGLE because it concluded that search technology is still in its infancy. I agree. The best search engine should be context sensitive and must be dead on in helping the searcher find EXACTLY what he/she is looking for. Apparently, MSFT's inhouse bots helped them reach their conclusion about the state of search technology. Obviously, this is a very complicated task. However, with the right amounts of filtering and hand research, I believe this is possible.
Any search engine anecdotes, feedback, or comments would be greatly appreciated.
