Poll Result Analysis (Week 9)
We discussed about what kind of search engine that semantic search engine actually is. Semantic search engine is also known as Web 3.0 search engine, it takes sense of a word as a factor in its ranking algorithm or offers user a choice as to the sense of a word of phrase. Some of the semantic search engines such as lexxe.com, blekko.com and kngine.com, feel free to try it out to know the differences between Web 2.0 search engine and Web 3.0 search engine clearly.
There are total of 8 voters had participated in the poll voting this week. There are 5 of them obtain the correct answer and 3 voters guess wrongly with Web 2.0 search engine which is an era of search engine from years 2004. For example, google.com, yahoo.com, bing.com and baidu.com is some of the popular Web 2.0 search engine and I believe that you had tried it out before.
Therefore, if you have something not sure about the search engine or there is something goes wrong in the post in term of information, please do not hesitate to let us know!

How to search in easier way and more specific?
Using the specific search engine. If you are looking for the audio files, you may use FindSounds.com or Free-Loops.com. Unlike some of the internet users, they just too depend on google.com. There are also specialty searches to search RSS feeds, podcast, library materials and so on. If you are getting to know more detail of "How to Choose a Search Tools", you may visit this link.
Try this specific search engine, zanran.com/q/. They help to search the data & statistics such as graphs, charts and tables. It enable users to customize four of the search options.
Again, I am glad to share this information to all my blog readers. So, are you going to try chacha.com, scour.com, and zanran.com/q/ ?

Poll Result Analysis (Week 8)
Besides, have 2 voters has choose the answer Yes, It may search everything what they need. Actually, Google.com can search everything what we need. This is the benefit for Google.com. Another 2 voters has choose the answer No, It always unable to search what I want. Google.com is not unable to search what we want because Google.com is just show the current most famous news in first two pages, the others information maybe is in other pages, so we can't say Google.com is unable to search what we need. Has i voter choose the last answer I will prefer to use dogpile.com more than Google.com. Dogpile.com is also a famous search engine in the world.
In conclusion, I suggest all the users to user the blekko.com. Blekko.com is a Semantic search engine and also a Web 3.0 search engine. In the future, many users certain use blekko.com to search everything what they need and information. Do you agree the vote result in this poll analysis?If have any question or suggestion can just comment in the comment box or email to us.

The Future of the Search Engine
No more keyword search box. Eztioni urges developers to think outside the keyword search box. "One threat to progress is the keyword search box, an innovation-retarding trap that 'exerts a powerful gravitational pull,'" explains Bits Blog's Steve Lohr. But if not the search box, then what? Etzioni imagines that people would speak a question and the computer would find an answer. Of course, some alternative mining methods already exist. For example, Shazam and SoundHound, services that identify songs from their notes, are a sort of audio search. But, as Nicholas Scalice computer science blogger points out on his blog, the entity that figures out how to combine all these existing search technologies--audio search, barcode search, realtime search--will succeed. For example, someone needs to step up and take all of this technology under one roof. They need to brand themselves as a revolutionary search engine that can find exactly what you’re looking for based on your location, your friends suggestions, the image you just uploaded, the song playing from your car stereo, the barcode you just scanned, the things you already like and other non-traditional concepts.
No more link lists. Since more people use tiny screened devices it becomes harder to type in keywords and peruse a list of links, argues Etzioni. "The device of the future is the smartphone, and the 10 blue links of traditional search don’t cut it anymore." Instead, results could show up in a much more aesthetically pleasing and sensible format, argues Project Syndicate's Esther Dyson. For example, what people want (and are now getting) in product search is not a list of pages, but a set of products displayed in some meaningful fashion. They want a map of the product space, not a list. The challenge of course, is that each kind of product has a different structure and a different set of attributes.
Better results. When people search, they look for more than information they want in term of action, explains Dyson. "They aren't just looking for nouns or information; they are looking for action. Currently, Google search looks at keywords, or strings of words, to find the result. Etzioni proposes a web search engine would identify relationships between terms, which would provide more and better results. "You turn to the search site of your smart phone to find a restaurant that offers those rarities. It not only finds the restaurant, it books a table for two, sends a map on how to reach there and offers the view from your table," The Economic Times's Shelley Singh offers as an example.
