How Google and Other Search Engines Have Evolved
Google CEO Eric Schmidt feels that search technology and Search Engines (specifically Google) will continue to develop until the most definitive search results are displayed in response to user’s search queries. Google will develop itself in a way that users needn’t look into other sites and search engines for more appropriate results.
In today’s scenario, if you enter a search query into Google, it will give you a list of sites wherein you might find an answer to your question. Eric Schmidt envisions that in the near future Google will display search results that will have the answer to your question. As it is Google is doing an increasingly good job at this, but in the near future you wouldn’t have to look for a needle in a haystack. The needle will be served to you almost every time you’re looking for it.
Such major changes are not going to occur overnight, it’s going to take at least a couple of years for Google and the other search engines to move in that direction. Schmidt himself feels it should take at least another ten years.
Bing from the Microsoft stable has already taken a step in this direction. It has started displaying page previews as pop-ups on the right side of the search results page. The preview contains prominent text from the page.
