More on search from Tim Bray last night. Very short, on a topic I’d like to hear more about from him, based on his experience. I know something about this topic from the user end and the product end, if not the technology end, since I worked on the now un-lamented Snap.com / NBCi.com back in the day. I even ran the search team for about six months, although admittedly more in caretaker mode than active oversight mode… but I learned enough from osmosis and listening to agree that “…it’s much easier to offer a good advanced than simple search.“
