search engine direction
 

If any of you search engine gurus like SEGURU or others are online now I wanted to pick your brain on where you think the future of search engines is headed. I am sure google will not be able to keep a monopoly forever.
Since Yahoo bought Inktomi do you think they are eventually going to switch to them?

I read that Microsoft wants to conquer google as the next big search engine, but right now if you search MSN all the adult listing just go to nightsurf, do you think they will keep it this way. Surely they must know that surfers appreciate variety in their searches and adult is searhed for a lot.

Any imputs or insights would be appreciated.

Google will probably keep the monopoly for a very very long time. i think they see themselves as just getting started.

even yahoo supports google.

I am not so sure on the internet things seem to change real fast. I remember a couple of years ago when Yahoo had a virtual monopoly.
