The Unchanging Search Interface

Why Search Sucks & You Won’t
Fix It The Way You Think from me on my personal blog Daggle covers a session
I did at Euro Foo Camp this week. It looks at how the search interface of major
search engines has largely stayed unchanged over time. We’re still using what I
call the “DOS of Search.” Interestingly, the Google Base
change that
just happened is a unique event — the first major search engine to have an
important property without that all-important search box on the home page. For
me, it’s just another sign of how Google Base is not intended to be a
consumer-facing product, as I’ve
written
before.
