Abstract

Describes the shortcomings of search engines for the WWW comparing their current capabilities to those of the first generation CD-ROM products. Some allow phrase searching and most are improving their Boolean searching. Few allow truncation, wild cards or nested logic. They are stateless, losing previous search criteria. Unlike the indexing and classification systems for today's CD-ROMs, those for Web pages are random, unstructured and of variable quality. Considers that at best Web search engines can only offer free text searching. Discusses whether automatic data classification systems such as Infoseek Ultra can overcome the haphazard nature of the Web with neural network technology, and whether Boolean search techniques may be redundant when replaced by technology such as the Euroferret search engine. However, artificial intelligence is rarely successful on huge, varied databases. Relevance ranking and automatic query expansion still use the same simple inverted indexes. Most Web search engines do nothing more than word counting. Further complications arise with foreign languages

Abstract

Used on its own, Boolean searching will only find between 20-25% of the relevant information. However, Personal Librarian has search tools which offer smart searching techniques, in particular a relevance ranking function. Although the software does not offer full natural language searching, it provides a natural language perspective. Although designed originally for the creation of inhouse databases, Personal Librarian is now used for a range of other applications including electronic publishing on CD-ROM distribution. Personal Librarian may be built on UNIX, DOS or Windows and may be searched on any other platform

Abstract: Special report on electronic availability of engineering information. Much engineering information is still delivered to users in a combination of traditional online, hard copy and CD-ROM formats, with Internet use just coming on the scene. Surveys current electronic provision and gives the views of users about what is needed. Presents an interview with Jim Ashling, Sales and Marketing Director at IEE in the IEE's first steps in electronic publishing
