Finally, reviews and news of various search software products are also included. You will not find actual search products listed on this page -- only reviews and resources. For product listings, it is highly recommended to visit the Search Tools web site, which provides comprehensive coverage of this area. Please note that article links often change.

Why Search Engines Fail SearchDay, Aug. 29, 2002 http://searchenginewatch.com/searchday/02/sd0829-search-failure.html Two major research studies stress-tested web site search engines around the world, analyzing search failures and offering important insights for dramatically improving search usability. Why Good Sites Lack Search Engines SearchDay, August 22, 2002 http://searchenginewatch.com/searchday/02/sd0822-stools.html A new survey attempts to explain the inexplicable: why some perfectly good web sites fail to provide a search engine to improve user navigation. In Defense of Search Semantic Studios, Dec. 7, 2001 http://semanticstudios.com/publications/semantics/search.html Well-known usability expert Jared Spool could be described at anti-search. Reports from his company consistently warn that web site designers shouldn't force users to search for what they want. Instead, he tends to favor clearly-labeled navigational structures. I'd agree with much of what he says, but search still has a role to play. It's is a feature users do expect, and it can be a useful feature to offer, if done correctly. Usability analyst Peter Morville has more thoughts on why search shouldn't be ignored, in his "In Defense of Search." Getting Them to What They Want User Interface Engineering, Oct. 2001 http://world.std.com/~uieweb/what_they_want.htm From usability expert Jared Spool, this report discusses the importance of good navigation, rather than running a search-centric site. It costs $25, but it's a small price for plenty of good content and advice. Designing Web Usability - Search Web Developers Virtual Library, June 8, 2001 http://wdvl.internet.com/Authoring/Design/Usability/use5_1.html Usability guru Jakob Nielsen shares his tips on improving search at your own web site. What Causes Customers To Buy On Impulse? User Interface Engineering, May 2001 http://world.std.com/~uieweb/whitepaper.htm This study found that you are more likely to convert visitors into impulse buyers if you make your site's content easy to browse. Search: Visible and Simple Jakob Nielsen's Alertbox, May 13, 2001 http://www.useit.com/alertbox/20010513.html Search boxes should be easy to locate, and if the first search fails to bring up what a user wants, the odds are they'll give up as further attempts are prone to failure. Search: 29 Design Guidelines for Usable Search Nielsen Norman Group, March 2001 http://www.nngroup.com/reports/ecommerce/search.html I haven't reviewed this report, just out from Jakob Nielsen, but it's said to cover the usability of search at 20 ecommerce sites in the US. Search success rates were found to be low, and the US $45 report offers many guidelines to improving performance.

The report then takes a close look at problem areas and suggests solutions.

Learn how to improve your search situation. Product Reviews & News The Grammar of Sound Technology Review, April 30, 2003 http://www.technologyreview.com/articles/wo_harney043003.asp Need to search through audio recordings to find particular keyword references? New technology from Fast-Talk Communications aims to make this much easier. Of course, SpeechBot (http://speechbot.research.compaq.com/), has allowed you to do this for ages for selected news content. The service either lets you search against written transcripts to match portions of audio recordings or has used speech recognition to create transcripts where none are available. However, FAST-Talk skips the transcription step used by SpeechBot and other audio-indexing companies. Instead, it makes a sound -- rather than word -- transcription of a document. This is supposed speed the indexing process. Corporations seek better search results News.com, April 28, 2003 http://news.com.com/2100-1032-998409.html Analyzing search requests on corporate web sites -- corporate search analytics -- can be an important way to understand customers.

Commentary: Google's enterprising search News.com, February 12, 2002 http://news.com.com/2009-1023-835736.html Gartner sees some appeal in Google's product, but not necessarily for business with sophisticated needs. And a quibble with this: "While Google provides standard keyword analysis and other ranking methods, its PageRank--which analyzes a page's prominence against others in a categorical search to determine which is most often referred and linked to--is less valuable in the structured design of business sites or intranets." Of course -- but that also suggests that Google's on-the-page ranking systems are somehow inferior to other people. That's not necessarily the case at all.

AltaVista Unveils New Software AP, June 12, 2001 http://www.wired.com/news/privacy/0,1848,44461,00.html AltaVista has upgraded its search software for intranets, with one of the key enhancements being new support for email formats. It can also work with AltaVista's "personal" software that runs on employee desktops, so that employees can search beyond just the information available on the company's shared network servers. This development has some privacy advocates concerned, suggesting that it will be easier for management or fellow employees to find personal information of other employees. This could certainly happen, but this isn't a software problem, it's a legal problem. Employees may be surprised to discover that "personal" email on company computers actually belongs to the company. Solution? If you don't want someone to see something personal, don't store it on your company computer, because intranet searching is going to continue expanding onto employee desktops. Alternatively, find out what your rights to privacy are according to company policies and your local jurisdictions.
