Three next things in search:
- User control (rearrange results, etc.)
- User feedback
- Transparency
- Let's you sort by varios factors: Popularity, Satisfaction, Web Popularity, Web Satisfaction, Domain (.com, etc.).
- Has structured data for some searches -- e.g., camera
- (He's not demoing on the live site -- it's slow at the moment.)
- Purchased actual user data, using that to rank and give results
- Selling ads/listings on various units: clicks, conversions, etc. And then revealing the conversion rate to users.
- Revealing all stats for the site -- including revenues(!)
- Allow "rich listings" -- structured data from advertisers
Big challenge to make it scale and not get killed by spam. Will be interesting to watch.

I'm just wandering through here and this post about search engine features caught my eye. I've been looking for a plug-in that will search my browser history more effectively than the IE6 search feature allows. Anyone know of such a thing? The motivation is that I will do a load of searches around a cluster of keywords, then a week later will want to return to something I noted in passing, and have to inspect the entire browser history, and/or the search engine history line by line. This is tedious. Since IE6 sores the history, would it be possible to develop an advanced search feature that could search for particular terms within a string? I know this is largely irrelevant to this post, but what that heck.
