Search Engines and Strategies

All knowledge is gained through an orderly loss of information.
-- Kenneth Boulding

Search engines, with their half-baked algorithms,
are closer to slot machines than to library catalogues.

--David Rothenberg, "How the Web Destroys the Quality of Students' Research Papers", Chronicle of Higher Education, August 15, 1997

If you have a good search question, Google is great for answering it. If you don't have a good question, you will get 17 million responses and you will wish you hadn't asked. -- Paul Duguid, UC Berkeley
