- Measuring the value of search
- Source: McKinsey Global Institute, August 2011. New McKinsey research estimates the impact of Internet search in the global economy, pinpointing the sources of value and the beneficiaries. Searching the Internet has become an almost reflexive act. Each day, tens of millions of global citizens fire up their personal computers and handheld devices to troll for information on products or to glean insights that will help guide business decisions. Yet the economic value of this enormous current of search activity remains largely unknown. Current estimates rely mainly on brute measures, such as the number of searches performed or advertising revenues reported by search companies themselves. These estimates fail to take account of how trillions of clicks combine to boost productivity, open new pathways to problem solving, or simply make life easier..."

- How a Search Engine May Choose Search Snippets
- By Bill Slawski. SEO by the Sea, December 4, 2009. "When you search at Google or Yahoo or Bing, you'll see a set of search results that include a page title, a summary or snippet of the page, and a URL indicating the address of the page.

- Search Engines: Real-time Search
- Phil Bradley looks at the concept of real-time search and points to some of the functionality that users can and should expect to find when exploring these engines. Ariadne, Issue 61, October 2009. "There's a lot of talk going around at the moment on the subject of 'real-time search', so I thought it might be useful to look at the concept in a little more detail, and to explore some of the search engines that say they offer it. This is by no means an attempt at a comprehensive listing, as new search engines are appearing if not daily, then certainly every week. Rather, it’s an attempt to define the area, using examples, and to point to some of the functionality that users can and should expect to find when exploring these engines themselves..."

- Bing sparks search war
- Microsoft and Yahoo! have Google in their sights. By Katie Cincotta. The Age, September 10, 2009. "Half of us say we do it once a week. In fact, Aussies are at it more than ever, up 18 per cent on last year. But while most of us have been doing it with our first love — the one that promised us all the answers in 1997 — it seems that after 12 years of mixed results, we might be ready for something new. If you haven't already guessed it, we're talking search — the fastest-growing online activity in the world..."

- Wolfram Alpha shows data in a way Google can't
- by Stephen Shankland and Rafe Needleman. CNet News, May 5, 2009. "Wolfram Alpha is like a cross between a research library, a graphing calculator, and a search engine. But does Wolfram Research's "computational knowledge engine," set to debut publicly later this month, live up to its hype as a Web site that Google needs to be afraid of? Wolfram Alpha creator Stephen Wolfram on Tuesday gave a demo of the service to a crowd of online reporters. Few have access to the private test version of the service itself, but we got access Monday night. We found it compelling, if limited..."
