Recommendation

Stefan Weitz, senior director of search at Microsoft, is a techno-enthusiast, who champions future innovations. In this educational overview, he sketches the history of search technology and explains some of the influences currently shaping search. Weitz adds a dose of realism by dedicating two chapters to the factors that work against the development of wonderful new search technologies. getAbstract recommends his informative exploration of search to investors, educators, entrepreneurs and anyone interested in cyberculture, e-commerce or big data.

Take-Aways

  • Technology is on the brink of a revolution in search.
  • The web began as a collection of linked, text-based pages. Within that structure, search functioned like a giant index.
  • As it evolves, search will offer you the information you need and when, where and how you need it, often without you asking. Queries will change shape or even disappear.
