In search of good search? (And an Xbox 360?)
By Maggie Holland in Editorial

“What did people do before the internet?” is a question I’ve heard many times. Having been around pre-web, I can just about remember what life was like. People certainly used to talk to one another more, we used to write letters or call people and libraries and bookshops did a lot more trade than they do now.
But when the web first came along, many of us were a bit bewildered by this big new virtual beast that seemed to connect things. We didn’t understand it. Many of us certainly didn’t know how to use it. Then along came search engines. The good, the bad and the downright ugly.
It’s a truth universally acknowledged that search is still not as good as we, the users, want it to be. But how to improve it? You can’t change what you don’t understand, so to see just where search is going right, and wrong, we’ve started the big search debate.
We want to hear what you really rate and hate about your search experience. Has it got better over the years or worse? However you feel about search, let us know here. It’ll take just a few moments of your time.
You could also win an Xbox 360 Elite for your trouble too.
