The New SearchCIO Presents 219 Definitions of Failure

July 29, 2014

I received an email about the new “www.Search CIO.com” Here it is:

I was not aware of the old search CIO. I clicked a link that delivered me to a page asking me to log in. I ignored that and navigated to the search box and entered the query “failure.” The system responded with 13,060 articles with the word failure in them, 103 conversations, and 219 definitions of failure.

The first hit was to an IBM mainframey problem with a direct access storage device. Remember those from 2003 and before? The second hit was a 2002 definition about “failure protection.”

The new search system appears to pull matching strings from articles and content objects across TechTarget’s different publications/information services. I clicked on the DASD failure link and was enjoined to sign up for a free membership. Hmmm. Okay. Plan B.

In my lectures about tactics for getting useful open source information, I focus on services like Ixquick.com. No registration and no invasive tracking. The Ixquick.com approach is different from the marketing-oriented, we want an email address in use at www.searchcio.com. Here’s what Ixquick displayed, quite quickly as well:

The first hit was to a detailed chunk of information from IBM called “DASD Ownership Notification (DVHXDN). No registration required. The hits were on point and quite useful in my opinion. A happy quck for Ixquick.

If you have an appetite for TechTarget information, navigate to http://searchcio.techtarget.com/. If you want helpful search results from a pretty good metasearch engine, go for Ixquick.

    Howdy! I could have sworn I’ve been to your blog before but after browsing through many of the articles I realized it’s new to me.
    Regardless, I’m definitely delighted I discovered it and I’ll be book-marking it and checking back often!
