Search - doesn't work!
People are spending more time looking for things, and less time analyzing the results of that time.
Mismatch between search software, audience and contents. Lacks the context of the environment.
The Holy Grail of computer science is understanding human language.
Taxonomic strategy can save search.
Taxonomy is like a map, giving the latitude and longitude, or like the Rosetta Stone.
Search is like a treasure map, fun - but not always accurate.
