While search-engines are the only way to get a view on all information
which can be found on the global Internet, their results are not
satisfying. The main reason for this is the unpresedented size and
growth of the information to be searched.
This talk was presented on June 9 1999, at the TERENA-NORDUnet
Networking Conference 1999 (TNNC):
"The Challenge of Gigabit Networking". It covers two papers:
In one talk, two ideas are presented to solve some of the problems
which may improve the usability of search-engines. The first is about
the development of an interface which supports the data-mining of a
user much better than current engines do. The second is about how we
can restructure the search-engines to improve the quality of their data.
