Search Business Turns Serious
From the article: “Although the web has given the person in the street access to more information than ever before and Google has made it easy to search through that vast pile to find what you want, typically business users need even more. So argues Clare Hart, boss of search firm Factiva which was formed in 1999 from Dow Jones Interactive and Reuters Business Briefing. When you do a search you’re not interested in quantity,” said Ms Hart, “you want relevant research and quick access to relevant results. I think people get very frustrated by Google results,” she said. “The lack of quality results and the fact that they have to register with more and more websites.” A great story for the librarians to mention to their patrons who think that Research = Google.
