Google Antitrust Notes
>Speaking as a person who spent some years if his career working on full-text search, I doubt that there’s much left in the way of low-hanging fruit.Maybe so, but judging by my search results most of the fruit is still on the tree. Natural language understanding is an active field of research.Turning Google into a search utility is a bad idea. Splitting off the crawling part and turning that into a utility would be a lot more interesting. It would allow search engines to compete on search quality while sharing the capex required for crawling.
