Search as well as any other activity performed by an individual is subjective. By subjective i mean that people do different things and expect different results. Even if two different people search using exactly the same search phrase it is logical to assume that they actually SEARCH for different subjective things. So good search engine will present subjective results that are indeed different. Houf, thank you for your comment.

It's a simple thing we use almost everyday without a hint of what's behind it or where it's coming from. it's amazing, in less than 20 years the evolution is quite phenomenal. You raised an interesting point at the end of the article, the amount of information is enormous and the right stuff might be hidden behind the page rank barrier. Will we reach reach a point where for the same key words, the 10 first results for me will be different from the 10 first results for my neighbor? Then maybe the next on your list will one of those social network introducing a search engine that uses the social information about the user to customize the search results? let's see.
