Title

Why don't search engines work better?

Abstract

Despite the proliferation of new search engines and improvements to existing ones, their use with the WWW continues to produce innumerable false hits. The reason for this is that HTML is mainly a presentation tool, and does a fairly poor job of describing the contents of a document while search engines are a long way from artificial intelligence. The use of SGML would ease the problem considerably, but is much more complex and time consuming to learn to be of general use. The alternative 'metadata' approach is proving slow to get off the ground. Researchers are investigating these and various other lines of enquiry
