I am very pleased to announce that Jason Haines has taken the time to write an article for the FyberSearch News Blog regarding search engine technology and FyberSearch. Jason Haines is the owner of Repus Technologies. Thanks for the article Jason :-)
The Technology of Search: Through the Eyes of a Web Designer by Jason Haines
As of October 28, 2004 Google is currently searching over 4.2 billion web pages. Each page contains unique content and diverse information that millions of web surfers seek each and every month. Although Google is a fine tuned machine, it is lacking in the area of advance search capabilities.
Have you ever tried to search for something on the web that just seems almost impossible to find? I have, and it’s not because the information isn’t available, it’s because the leading search engines don’t give the user the control over their search. As it is now, the user types in a word or phrase and the search engine returns what it decides is relevant based on a number of complex mathematical algorithms. If the search engine returns results that are not relevant to your search, your options are to either change your key words and or phrases, or try another search engine.
The truth is that the major search engines aren’t doing much to ensure the users can easily find the information they are looking for. Users want fast and relevant results without having to browse through 10+ pages of irrelevant information.
Wouldn’t it be great if the user could customize the results of their search, removing irrelevant keywords therefore generating results that are more relevant to their needs? It only makes sense, so why are the major search engines ignoring these seemingly simple technologies. It’s hard to say, but thanks to FyberSearch and the hard work of Nathan Enns (Owner of FyberSearch), relevant results are no longer a chore to obtain.
FyberSearch has been aggressively pushing the limits of search technology since its birth in November 2003. With features such as “Refine Search” “Design Your Results” and “Instantly Add URL” it’s obvious that FyberSearch is headed in the right direction. It’s great to see an underdog such as FyberSearch doing so much with so little.
