From Ars Technica, on Microsoft Live Search:
The thing that really stuck out to me is when Weitz said, “Search is not solved.” Since I use Google, I immediately thought this didn’t apply to me. After all, Google was god and it always helped me find what I was looking for. Weitz was indeed referencing Live Search data Microsoft had started drawing conclusions on, but I quickly realized that there were broader implications of what he was saying: this conclusion applied to web search in general.
As I write this, Steve Broback is trying in frustration to find and download a driver he needs. You’d be surprised at how useless searching has been.
Search is not solved.
