Does Google Know Too Much?

Google Inc. might be widely admired for its technical wizardry and its quick, accurate search engine, but one of the company’s most impressive accomplishments has been its ability to grow as powerful as it is while still remaining, in the minds of most Americans, fundamentally likable. The company has more than 15,000 employees and a market value as big as Coca-Cola and Boeing combined. Its search engine is the tool of first resort for expert researchers and schoolkids alike; for suspicious employers, first-daters, long-lost friends, blackmailers, reporters and police investigators — for seekers of any and all sorts of information.

Adobe announced recently that Google and Yahoo are adding search capabilities that will enable users to look inside the content of files encoded in Adobe’s Flash file format — SWF.The content inside SWF files has heretofore been ignored by the search engine giants, but Adobe has worked with both companies to make sure that their search engine technology can now look inside existing and future SWF content, including text, hyperlinks, audio and video content.

Multilingual Searching: Search Engine Language Tools

The World Wide Web may not cover the entire globe, but it certainly has a presence in most populated places throughout the world. With such an international scope, the “multilinguality” of web content continues to increase. For savvy searchers, the multiple languages and content from distant countries create new opportunities for finding previously buried information resources.

10 Seriously Useful Firefox Add-ons

Most of the information professionals I know are huge fans of Firefox, mainly because it is so…extensible. The sheer number and variety of add-ons that increase the browser’s utility…just staggering. If there is something you wish that Firefox could do, the odds are very good that someone with programming talent had the same thing in mind — and has created some sort of extension that adds precisely that functionality.Since I spend so much of my working existence online, my Firefox browser is seriously pimped out with a stalwart set of add-ons that, collectively, make my life so much easier. The following are road-tested and highly recommended.

Microsoft Abandons Book Scan Plan

Microsoft last week announced that it will pull the plug on its book and scholarly article scan plans, Live Search Books and Live Search Academic, and that both sites will be taken down. “We recognize that this decision comes as disappointing news to our partners, the publishing and academic communities, and Live Search users,” reads a Microsoft blog post from Satya Nadella, Microsoft senior VP search, portal and advertising. “We believe the next generation of search is about the development of an underlying, sustainable business model for the search engine, consumer, and content partner.” Nadella said that books digitized under the programs would now be included in MSN search results.b

Google ‘Europe’s Most Popular Search Engine’

Some eight out of ten web searches conducted in Europe in March were carried out using Google, new figures have shown. Digital research firm comScore reported that over 19 billion searches were carried out on Google in March, making up a total of 79 per cent of Europe’s entire search market. “With nearly 80 percent of all searches conducted in March, Google is far and away the leading search property in Europe,” said Jack Flanagan, executive vice-president of comScore.

Google Puts Kybosh on ‘Eco’ Search Engine

A new Australian green search engine seeking to capitalise on web surfers’ eco-guilt has been barred by Google from using its search technology and advertising platform. Ecocho.com.au promises to buy carbon offset credits that will result in two trees being planted for every 1000 searches made through the site. It gives users the option of searching through either Yahoo or Google and serves up their ads alongside search results. But like other green search engines, it is questionable whether Ecocho really is any more environmentally friendly than regular Google search.

Start-up Askpedia: IAC Doesn’t Like Our Name

Just how much does Ask.com own the word “Ask?” Enough to have a problem with a question-and-answer site called “Askpedia,” apparently. Representatives from the start-up Askpedia.com told CNET News.com that the search engine’s parent company, InterActiveCorp, sent a cease-and-desist letter earlier this month, citing intellectual property violations in the name “Askpedia.” “(This) is likely to cause consumer confusion, particularly inasmuch as Askpedia purports to provide online informational services that are substantially similar to those provided by Ask,” the letter dated March 13 reads. “In using and incorporating Ask’s intellectual property in this manner, Askpedia is falsely suggesting a connection between Ask and Askpedia, and thereby misappropriating the substantial good will associated with Ask’s trademarks.”

Searching as a Team

Social software is proliferating online, but many of the most common Internet tools, such as search engines, are still used in isolation. “These tools are designed for a single person, working alone by him or herself, but that’s not always the way that we work,” says Meredith Morris, a researcher in the Adaptive Systems and Interaction group at Microsoft Research. People planning travel with their spouses, she says, or students working on research projects with classmates all too often find themselves repeating work others have done or fail to find sites that others have identified. Morris is designing a tool that could begin to help with this problem. Called SearchTogether, the tool is meant to help groups whose members are working on different computers, whether they’re all logged in simultaneously or one at a time.

Waiting for the Semantic Web

Yahoo is about to add semantic elements to search, as announced on March 13 at www.ysearchblog.com. For educators, evolution toward search based on meaning and not just a character-string is highly significant. With search as it is now, using Google or Yahoo or Microsoft and so on, we must imagine what terms might describe the object we’re looking for. We might try 2 or 3 or more different ways to find the right search string to come up with appropriate sites. But maybe there’s help on the way.

4,000 Search Engines You’ve Never Heard Of…

Phil Bradley writes, “Have you ever heard of Black Stump? How about TicoFun, Leit, Tanikalang Ginto or Kanoksearch? Don’t worry if you haven’t, but on the off chance that you have, I’d take a guess that you’re interested in Australia, Costa Rica, Iceland, the Philippines or Thailand respectively. They’re all search engines – the main difference between them and many of the others that you will have heard about are because they have a very specific focus, on a country or a region.”

What are People Searching For and Where Are They Looking?

We know that knowledge workers spend a large percentage of their time looking for information. What are they looking for and where are they looking? In fall 2007, we set about trying to find out. In conjunction with KMWorld and IDC’s Technology Advisory Panel, we asked participants to tell us how long they spent searching, what their typical questions were, and where they went (online or print) to find the information they needed. The 272 people who answered our questions ran the gamut of job categories, with 28 percent coming from IT, 21 percent from professional services, 12 percent from operations and 10 percent from executive management. They were distributed fairly evenly by company size and across industry, education and government sectors. Here’s what we found:1. Everyone looks for information first on the Web.

Top Five Engines Drive January Search Growth - But is that the Whole Story?

Core U.S. Internet search across the top search engines in January grew 8.9% over the prior month’s results, according to the latest report by comScore. Not surprising, Google held the top slot amongst Americans as the favored search engine of choice when conducting an online search. Yahoo held the number two position, Microsoft’s MSN was ranked third, followed by TimeWarner Co’s AOL and IAC’s Ask. According to comScore, Americans conducted 10.5 billion searches at the core search engines, representing an 8.9 percent gain versus December. Google Sites saw 6.1 billion core searches during the month, while Yahoo! Sites recorded 2.3 billion. Each of the five core search engines saw the number of searches conducted in January grow at least 5 percent versus the previous month. But you have to take note, as comScore says in its news release, that these ‘core’ searches didn’t include searches for mapping, local directory, and user-generated video sites, but they did cover partner sites and cross-channel searchers.

A New Perspective on Search Results

Amid the flurry of news over Microsoft’s bid for Yahoo and Google’s rebuttal, a research announcement by Google went largely unnoticed. Last week, the search giant began a public experiment in which users can make their search results look a little different from the rest of the world’s. Those who sign up are able to switch between different views, so instead of simply getting a list of links (and sometimes pictures and YouTube videos, a relatively recent addition to the Google results), they can choose to see their results mapped, put on a timeline, or narrowed down by informational filters. Dan Crow, product manager at Google, says that the results of the experiment could eventually help the company improve everyone’s search experience.
