Here Comes Personal Search
Posted on December 12, 2004
The BBC has a news story about how web search is getting more and more personal with new features and tools aim to make searching easier for the user. One of the new features, available with Ask Jeeves and in testing stages at Yahoo, allows surfers to save searches and keywords so they can be easily called on again -- saving users time by saving them steps in the search process. Another new tool, called Blinx, downloads onto your desktop and monitors your work so that it can suggest possible searches. Blinx also maintains a log of searches that websurfers can call them up as needed.
The major search providers are offering desktop search options as well. For example, Google recently launched Google Desktop which allows customers to search through their own files and documents. Expect personalization to become more and more part of web searching in 2005.
