Very interesting session on a “year down the road look” at search engines. Here are some (pretty meager) notes from the session:
A9:
- Introduced Open Search
- Common format for search requests for their partners
- It lets you search things like white pages, flickr, nytimes, etc.
- They are adding over one search engine a day to Open Search
- Microsoft is building OpenSearch into the next version of Internet Explorer 7
- Seattle Public Library’s catalog is one of those, too (from Greg Notess)
Google:
Recent Search Innovations
- answers - type in question, and get an answer - I need to play around with this some…
- still working on automated translation tools
- cellphone versions of Google
- showed lots of stuff others have done with Google Maps and API
Yahoo:
- FUSE - enable people to find, use, share and expand … (something… I didn’t get the rest of that
- partnering with subscription services
- partner with creative commons - so users can search for stuff they can legally use
- My Web - lets users save, tag, and annotate web content
- books, spoken word archives, historical document - they want to expand into those areas
- they’re part of the Open Content Alliance
