Search 2.0?

Where is 'search' going next? Are the limits of search technology in terms of ability to improve relevancy going to beat generic search engines? is search really dead?

Human intervention seems to be experiencing a come back - Googles co-op shows a new motivation for search engines to introduce human intervention in recommending search results.

But what about a search engine that combines the 'power' to search the deep web (reaching the parts that Google can't reach) and combines a human element of recommendation...and expertise to assist your search. The expert is not dead yet then...

Goshme 3.0

Goshme.com finally launch their version 3.0 to BETA testers. You've got to hand it to them...this is an uber cool search experience.

www.goshme.com

Goshme searches over 1900 specialised and deep web search engines - casting a massive net across the net it retrieves more than you can ever hope for. Google becomes just one of the places it looks to retrieve an answer. Unlike general search engines - it doesn't have to follow navigation trails or links to get into and index a site... (most sites which hide their data behind a search box where users interrogate a database don't get indexed by general search engines)... the Goshme crawler submits the search queries to other search engines and indexes the results they retrieve...WOW
