Search with the speed of thought - in my opinion a good concept of a new era of working with information. We are accelerating. We are forced to accelerate. Information is born with great speed and in unimaginable volumes, which forces us to master it faster. Like Alice in Wonderland:
You have to run very fast to stay in place, ”says the Black Queen,“ and each time it goes faster and faster.
As a result, the faster I can get the information I need, directly or with the help of tools, the more chances there are in the rabbit hole. And now the question is - do modern search engines match the title? At the request of “Internet”, Yandex offers to view 600 million pages, Google - 3070 million. Are you serious? Ask a colleague - “the Internet”, and he will answer - this word I heard in my life half a billion times, which time are you interested in?
')
Now imagine - I enter “Internet”, press ENTER and get
about the following:
The Internet (pronounced as [Internet]; English Internet, abbr. From Interconnected Networks - united networks; slang. No, no) is a global telecommunication network of information and computing resources. It serves as a physical basis for the World Wide Web. Often referred to as the World Wide Web, the Global Network, or simply the Network.
Next, the question - “Weather”:
Weather in Rostov-on-Don
-8 ° C
Snowstorm
Fresh wind, 10 m / s
New request: = 2 + 2 * 2
2 + 2 * 2 = 6
And so on - currencies, television programs and other.
And most importantly, so far, up to this point, not one transcendental technology, take it and do it, and users will catch up. And let's call it all, by analogy with the unspeakable than - microsearch.
UPD. Yes, Yandex, Google and others are able to show the weather, and some even calculate expressions, no one took away this opportunity. But imagine for a second the white sheet of the screen with the input line. You write a request, here you get an answer. New request - new answer. The result is something like this:
User : Universe
System : a fundamental concept, not strictly defined. Includes the whole world around.
User : Age
System : 13.5 billion years
We get a dialogue with the search engine, where the system answers are the information you need. You do not need to follow the links, the answers to the queries are unambiguous and the system extracts them.
And you say "Feeling lucky."
