Google and It 10 Important Moves in 2015

January 4, 2016

short honk: Navigate to “Year in Review: These Were the 10 Most Important Moves That Google Made in 2015.” Scan the list. Notice that none of these “most important moves” involved search. I would suggest that one “important move” be added to the list. The impetus for “the right to be forgotten” gained steam. As a result, it is tough to search for something when the pointer is not in the public index. My take: Google has marginalized precision, recall, and relevance. For those who run queries across multiple systems and perform old fashioned information collection such as talking to folks with some knowledge of a matter, no big deal. For others? Think about it.
