Not only was a New Yorker cartoon referencing Google, every geek's favorite search engine, but it was using Google as a verb.
For a low-tech literary magazine, this was language on the bleeding edge.
That creates major heat problems, of course, so inevitably the modder's next task is to add extra cooling fans, or even to install a water-based cooling system.
For the lazy or less adventurous customizer, mod kits are available for the most popular mods, and there are pre-modded computer cases that come already "tricked out."
There are also the game modders, fans of certain commercial computer games who customize the look and sounds---the eye and ear candy---of the game [see related story, pp. 56--57].

Inventing new computer applications is a job Spina and his colleagues clearly enjoy.
As myths go, this one may lack staying power, but there is no doubt that in some sense scientists have been victims of their own success.
"I think the real action is in focused and specialized search engines," says Web researcher Lee Giles of Pennsylvania State University, University Park.
By using the strange properties of quantum objects to store and manipulate information, quantum computers, if they can ever be built, would crack the codes that safeguard the Internet, search databases with incredible speed, and breeze through hosts of other tasks beyond the ken of ordinary computing.
Advanced Internet
Search for specific items on the Internet Use advanced searching techniques i.e. include and exclude search terms, use Boolean and Proximity Operators, use Wildcards and use Field Searching techniques.
You are going to use the Ixquick MetaSearch engine to search for a performance guide for the Grand Opera House in Belfast.
Field searching is very useful when searching the Internet as it enables you to narrow a search down to specific parts of a web page i.e. title, address, links etc.
You are going to use the Google search engine to find all web pages with the words Belfast City in the title.
advanced_web_searching1
Most people when searching the web go straight to their favorite search engine or subject directory, type in a word or two and filter through hundreds of web sites which are not relevant to their needs.
Web searching can, however, be more refined than that and many search engines are aware of the need for more precision searching on the internet, especially when it comes to doing academic research on the web.

OntoKhoj-Submission
To achieve this goal, the emerging Semantic Web community has proposed ontologies to express knowledge in a machine understandable way.
The process of building and maintaining ontologies, which is known as Ontology Engineering, presents unique challenges.
The data model defined for this purpose is RDF (Resource Description Format)[20], wherein each RDF entity has an associated URI, that allows citing and reusing, thereby accelerating the proliferation of knowledge.
With the proliferation of ontologies over the Web, one of the challenging tasks is to search for the desired ontologies.
The ontology classification of the OntoKhoj portal has been implemented using Rainbow [2], a document classification tool.

As an example, if the images require editing or further manipulation as a result of quality assurance checks, tracking procedures should be implemented to provide access and version control.
Likewise, it may be necessary to retrieve images that have been digitised using a particular capture device, if there proves to be a problem later with that piece of equipment.
Using the AND option can narrow a search to find fewer, more relevant, references.

In April 2002, DoubleClick surveyed 700 marketers worldwide about their media spending plans and attitudes toward various media vehicles.
Using this premise---and standard metrics as the starting point---DoubleClick examined the issue of audience reach across TV, magazines and the Internet with some surprising results.
Bringing the Internet into the Mix For the past few years the magazine industry has touted a study conducted by ad agency Foote, Cone & Belding that showed popular magazines to have audiences as large or larger than network TV's biggest draws.
To make the point about the competitive size of popular web destinations, the 25 most popular websites, primetime TV shows and consumer magazines have been selected for twelve demo breaks.

WYSIWYG_Search_Improvementshttp://www.cc.gatech.edu/grads/h/Michael.Holmes/WYSIWYG_Search_Improvements.pdf
For example, a Google search for "bin Laden" would inundate the user with thousands of matching documents, making it very difficult to isolate any specific information about "bin Laden" that the user might be seeking.
A further problem observed by Jain is that in these search systems, the query and presentation spaces are very different.
In response to this problem, Jain and his associates have developed a search paradigm called WYSIWYG search.
More concretely, the Praja company has developed a WYSIWYG search interface as shown in Figure 1.
I propose an addition to the WYSIWYG search interface: cluster and condense the results list.
The real challenges come in three areas: clustering, condensing, and underlying data structures.
Google is a powerful search engine and a very useful research tool.
It is extremely fast, the index contains more than 2 billion web sites, and its unique "PageRank" system returns high quality and relevant search results.

SurfWax_BI_Tools http://www.surfwax.com/SurfWax_BI_Tools.pdf
Business Intelligence (BI) applications utilize enterprise databases but miss a major piece of the solution to this chaos by not harnessing "unstructured" data from an enterprise's intranet and the Open Web.
SurfWax tools fill this need by bringing intelligence and efficiency to intranets and the Open Web through targeted, multi-source searching and seamlesslyintegrated tools that save time and improve research productivity.
SurfWax has spent four years developing its patented (and patent-pending) technologies and launched its Enterprise service in April, 2003.
"After wasting years of time and millions of dollars, many industry experts are coming to the conclusion that the way the technology industry has approached development and integration is fundamentally flawed."
patri-final-224n
While first/last name combinations can be fairly unique ("patri friedman"), one may wish to find mentions by only first name, and first names tend to be very non-unique.
This is why search refinement is important as well as classification (and ended up being our focus, due to time considerations).
"friedman", the most obvious auxiliary term to use (and one which empirically results in high recall and high accuracy) is 126 under PD and 20 under IG.
Here we note that a refinement on "patri juggling" was extremely successful in terms of precision - the top 20 hits were all positive cases.
