it's a technique which involves augmenting traditional search techniques with a faceted navigation system, allowing users to narrow down search results by applying multiple filters based on faceted classification of the items

Google has accelerated this by using search to better link pieces of knowledge in the modern world, but scholars have been linking thoughts manually for centuries.

Let's have a look at how Voice Search will transform the future of eCommerce, mCommerce industries and app development process.

If the majority rules search engine results, the majority could also rule over the content. if the majority of the online population are sexist, then the majority of the results when searching even a simple/general term such as "cars" could be more searched by men, but also have more content created by men, especially men who are "middle class" or higher who could afford to purchase a car and own a technology capable of using a search engine.

It makes me think... What searches would come from people who were struggling financially and did not usually have access to a computer? What would they search first? And how would that impact the popular searches and content?

The majority of Canada's populace are not low income, but what would happen to results in other countries (or even ours)where low income is the majority, and they were all given access to search technologies?

I'm also reminded here of the idea of serendipity. Perhaps I go into a library looking for a specific topic and browse to that section via Dewey decimal. What about the serendipity of finding something interesting in that same section (or even nearby sections) that I wasn't specifically looking for?

Google's search ranking rarely if ever unearths this sort of serendipitous material.

A good resource to keep in mind for future lessons:) Found this website using a custom google search engine

This is a good point- typically teachers either give students a list of links or let them use google free reign. Creating a custom google search engine for the class may help

This is a great instance for Google's box that simply provides the factual answer instead of requiring a click through.

Doing what you love, isolates and degrades other workforces and elevates others and more so, the ones of higher economic class. One should be paid fair dues as per their work and have good working conditions. She wants people to realize that they deserve goods jobs and they should never settle for less in the name of doing what they love.

The article argues different theories regarding doing what is right, with the bigger question being is it wrong for people to strive to be able to do what they love. But, at the same time, what is the limit of people seeking what they love without overstepping the boundaries?

This is a really really important point.

The cover of Ken Macrorie's textbook, The I-Search Paper, has a moebius strip on it, reflecting this sentiment nicely.<br>

But the conceit of the moebius strip extends from the back cover as well

So, you start reading this book on the back cover, nice twist, just like in a moebius strip. You work through the text by doing. Then when you are done, you get to the end and out the back of the book you go onto the back cover, to enter again. Escher would approve. That is what I see happening here. In the end this process serves the product, the text that is produced for anyone concerned.

It may sound obvious but it actually works. Just did it with each of these three words (on DuckDuckGo) and the results, though unsurprising, bring home the point. Tried switching on the Canadian filter, to check if their might be a difference, and it mostly reorders the results, for some reason. Also tried “student” and “musician” which provide an interesting contrast. Doing this exercise in class, would probably start by asking learners to write down what they expect to get. (Might even do it in my applied anthro class, tomorrow.)

I agree with Nancy that information people find on the Internet may not be as useful and it can be falsified. An example would be Wikipedia as any person could modify the content of the information in it.

I agree with Nancy. These pages that are ranked higher are only based on assumptions from the search algorithm due to the fact that the website are from notable corporations/company and are linked to a lot of other other websites. However, the credibility of its contents may not come from an expert or whatsoever.

I completely agree with you. After the popularity of Google rose, the reliance on convenient and fast information increased. Many millennials lack the skill of performing research without Google or an online search engine/

I said the same thing. If researchers are getting there information for the internet then we dont know whats true.

I understand this and it makes a lot of sense. People think everything that is theres is always safe.

It is very interesting to have the opportunity to compare and contrast what online searches look like online in different parts of the world. It is unfortunate to see that places like China do not have the freedoms of accessing any information that they are curious about, however, it should inspire us to take advantage of what liberties we have on the Internet.

I also agree with what Caroline had to say about the claim of search engines changing the way we think. With information becoming so easily accessible, people can be seen as getting lazier with accessing information.

I agree, the internet now a days is being used in so many different situations. No one is going to just go to the library in order to find out more information about something when they can just look it up on the internet in a quick second. The ability of searching a lot of information in a short period of time and having it in one place is very useful. People do not need to look for hours upon hours to find one concise answer, they just need to search it on the internet.

This is a critical distinction.

Connections is the key thing, in a world of information abundance. How do we trust those connections, understand them, and act on them?

This is interesting!

Finally figured this out!

we’re at a pivotal point not just in the life of our democracy, but in how we think, read, and make choices. Selective information is being presented to us in a way that encourages selective reading and offers psychological and social rewards for, to put it bluntly, being stupid and submissive and spreading stupid to submit others.

...

What’s different now is that this propaganda is being gamed by professionals in a massive, orchestrated data campaign at a volume, pace, and consistency that not only muddies the truth, but completely eclipses the truth. Destroys the very notion of truth.

...

The truth about the truth is that we believe because we want to, because our ability to think independently is a point of pride for Americans. The people behind the curtain are telling us the same story we tell ourselves about ourselves. But this is also a vulnerability: Independence is in its purist form a kind of division. If you exploit it the right way, you can turn a democracy against itself.

Google is countering fake news and extremism by updating their search rankings, and taking direct feedback from users.

Google is adding a Fact Check feature to Google Search and Google News. When fact checks are available from one or more approved publishers, they will appear in the search results.

One requirement for publishers to be cited is to use the schema.org ClaimReview markup, or the Share the Facts widget.

This would be good.

This is just one specific type of the classes of satisfiability problems (a.k.a. search problems).

Other related problems include: Linear equation satisfiability, Linear inequality satisfiability, 0-1 integer linear equation satisfiability.

Given the current context (of search problems), all the above are known as NP problems in general (with the observation, that the classic definition of NP limited the scope to only YES-NO problems).

One can think of search problems as "one of many ways of characterizing the set of problems that form the basis of the study of intractability". Other ways include viewing such problems through the lenses of decision problems or optimization problems. In other words, problems in any of the aforementioned types can be translated between (or more formally, reduced to) each other with relative ease.

Google has adjusted their search results (or the ranking algorithm itself) for "did the holocaust happen". Previously, a page on a white supremacist site had been the top result. That page still appears, but now a little lower in the results.

Sites that promote hate, violence, extremism, and lies should automatically be ranked very low. Google needs to start acting responsibly.

Borgman on the importance of scale in information retrieval. It's an interesting question for the humanities not only does large-scale introduce new methods for example just reading it also makes traditional methods more difficult EG challenges close reading. It is not enough to say (as color and others do) that they don't like distant reading. They also need to say how they propose doing the reading in a million book environment.

data and information have always been both input and output of research. What is new is the scale of the data and information involved. Information management is notoriously subject to problems of scale [bibliography removed]. Retrieval methods designed for small databases declined rapidly ineffectiveness as collections grow in size. For example a typical searcher is willing to browse a set of matches consisting of one percent of a database of 1000 documents (10 documents), maybe willing to browse a 1% set of 10,000 documents (100), rarely is willing to browse 1% of 100,000 documents (1000), and almost never would browse 1% of 1 million or 10 million documents.

Borgman discusses a couple of things that are useful for me. The first is how students discover what they miss from the library after they graduate and no longer have access to journals.

The second is that this passage supplies some evidence for the claim that things that are not online no longer exist as far as such behavior is concerned.

There's some bibliography at the end of the passage covering both of these points in the print book.

Scholars seem to be even more dependent on library services for access to scholarly publications than in the past. Personal subscriptions to journals have declined substantially. Faculty and students have been known to panic when unable to access online library services, whether due to system failures or incorrect authentication settings. Students' dependence on these services becomes especially apparent when they graduate and no longer have access. Librarians learned early in the days of online catalogs that people rely on online sources, even if those sources are incomplete. Older material accessible only via the card catalog was quickly "widowed," which was a primary motivation for libraries to complete the retrospective conversion of card catalogs to digital form. The same phenomenon occurred with online access to journals. The more access that libraries provide, the greater the depth of coverage that users expect. The use of printed indexes in libraries has dropped to near zero, although printed finding aids remain popular in archives.

Original Search Committee language

The search box on Project Gutenberg uses a special syntax that actually allows more than just simple text searches. You can search by language, subject, author, and many others. For example:

• The search "l.german" will produce only texts in German.
• The search "s.shakespeare" will produce only texts about Shakespeare.
• The search "s.shakespeare l.german" will produce only texts in German about Shakespeare.

To see a more complete description of the syntax, go to the search page and click the "Help" button on the top-right of the page.

I haven't figured out how to search for terms with multiple words in these searches. Can someone figure it out? For example, how do you search for "william shakespeare" as a subject rather than just "shakespeare"? Or "old norse" as a language and not just "norse"?
