search engines

Sometimes, some people search a piece of news on the Web. However, some people have the same problem : they know what they wish to find, but It escapes to them because the categories which they use for research do not give anything. For much among us, the experiment of the Web is still very recent. Our designs of reference are more in the world of the “concret” writing.

For instance, if I wanted to buy a book, I would go down to the local book store, select one I like, pay for it, and go home. The book store is usually in a visible place and has a sign out front, making it relatively easy to find.
But in cyberspace, there’s no place to “turn.” I have only my computer screen in front of me…

I have found an article which deals with research on the search engines, with a history about them. The analysis is interesting, even if we know “all the tricks” of Google !
