spacerMarkets: “Search” is only ~5% solved
Most industry experts agree that “search” is still in its infancy.


Limitations of current leading search engines:
  • Realiance on ambiguous keywords

  • Pages ranked on “link popularity” rather true “content relevance” - major hurdle in enterprise search applications

  • Searches are not customized to meet individual users' preferences.
 
Hence, highly relevant documents may be completely ignored or “buried” too deeply in results.
