Amen to that Paul. The authors of this site, have no clue at all to what search engine is. I myself have implemented a number of search engine algorithms, and there are tons of them available from the literatures. Also there are new improved versions (lower error rate) of existing algorithms or completely new ones that are being published from time to time. Search engines evolved and the same thing to vendors such as Google and the rest.

Second, the whole thought of semantic search is great, but the truth is that people are unpredictable and will often search for things in unpredictable ways. There are time that I look at some of the search queries on our search engine Bessed and as a human I can’t figure out what the person was searching for. No matter how good semantic search gets, it will never have the human mind figured out. That’s not to bash the notion of semantic search making search engines better, but a lot of techies seem to see it as some Holy Grail of search, and I think they’re fooling themselves in terms of whether it can be accomplished and whether the vast majority of searchers even care about it anyway. No search engine is going to beat out Google because of superior semantic search.
