[H-GEN] Seach Engines and Sex

[Raymond Smith]

[ Humbug *General* list - semi-serious discussions about Humbug and
Unix-related topics. ]

This made me chuckle... it is about a search engine that orders hits based
on how often users select retrieved pages. The most popular search was
'sex':

"A look at the list of documents that Pluribus returned for the query sex
shows a wide range of topics. The titles and summaries of the documents
retrieved were informative, which implies that the users were making
informed choices. However, it seems that different users were looking for
different things when they typed the query sex, and that the wide variety
of topics in the documents retrieved allowed each user to pick the
particular topics they were interested in."
