Strypey<p>(1/?)</p><p>The idea of a unitary "search engine" for the web made sense when the web was a niche medium. A patchwork of small websites, made by a few thousand people. Now that the web has eaten our entire information space, the whole idea is a bit suspect.</p><p>I suspect that effective solutions to the online search problem will be found in dozens of specialised search engines. Some with indexes curated by humans, especially in cases like scholarly works.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/search" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>search</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/WebSearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WebSearch</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/SearchEngine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SearchEngine</span></a></p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@sugiyama738" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>sugiyama738</span></a></span></p>
