But let’s just go along with this hittail gizmo ad — I think the point John is trying to make is again another push for his conversational spiel (and BTW, John, I’ve probably got something “related” if you might consider redubbing the concept .

What hittail “searches” is not the HTML text, but rather the user queries. I have been “studying” user queries for over 5 years already, so I know the vocabulary quite well (at least the vocabulary on the www). However, this is more/less a “done deal” — the gold is no longer in “one-size, fits-all”: it’s in the “site search” (actually, you could also look at Google searches as if they were site searches — and indeed: this is where the legalities get a little “mucky”). So what if there WERE no longer any caching? (this is, BTW, pretty much where we’re headed, I think) Well, then we would have real-time search. This is not impossible, but it’s also not comprehensive (actually, NO search engine is comprehensive). The newer engines (which have yet to be created) will TARGET their searches. I know, this sounds like a throwback to the meta-searches of pre-Google — but some of these projects were actually quite promising. Imagine (just “for example”) a meta-search engine that would focus ONLY on ebay.com and amazon.com. Such an engine could send a query to both of those sites, compare the results, take out duplicates, etc. Back in pre-Google days, most individual websites were still quite small (and few were very focused). Now, the long tail is here to stay (I TOLD you I knew the vocabulary! ;P)

World turning….
