Is this a clue to the MSN search engine algorithm?
"WHAT is the next stage in the evolution of internet search engines? AltaVista demonstrated that indexing the entire world wide web was feasible. Google's success stems from its uncanny ability to sort useful web pages from dross. But the real prize will surely go to whoever can use the web to deliver a straight answer to a straight question. And Eric Brill, a researcher at Microsoft, intends that his firm will be the first to do that. "
Dr. Brill plans to use information on the Internet to help identify the most meaningful answer to a question submitted to his search engine. If this works out, it means that his approach will get smarter and smarter as the web itself grows.
His concept may be launched sometime soon under the name "Answerbot". The question for webmasters and owners is, "how will I use this information to maintain my rankings in the search engine arena?" It is probably too early to speculate much about the details, but it seems certain that the idea of content on the web site will continue to be the most important factor in achieving and maintaining rankings.
