Dreyfus's views on the quality and efficiency of online search engines are almost exactly in line with my views on the subject. There is almost no possible way given our current AI capabilities that a successful internet search using engines, such as google, dogpile or yahoo is feasible. Millions of pages are added each day and probably near the same amount are deleted but despite this, due to success of other technologies, we expect instant quality results when we hit the search key. I know for a fact that I'm not the only person in the world who gets aggravated by a piss poor search. None the less thousands and thousands of students are steered to the internet by librarians and teachers, who's to blame? Probably society, people are raised to do everything as efficiently as possible, no matter how bad the quality.
