Finding Useful Information Through the Internet
Information is now available in vast amounts from numerous
diverse sources on every topic. But finding the right
information and figuring what to do with it is still hard. There
is a great need for better tools to locate relevant information
and process it. I will discuss several new search and filtering
systems we developed (Glimpse, GlimpseHTTP, Warmlist, Siff,
Harvest) ranging from searching one disk to searching the whole
Internet. I will also discuss how to combine global data with
local processing to make Internet access much more productive.
