Innovations in Web & Enterprise Search


Search Solutions is a special one-day event dedicated to the latest innovations in web & enterprise search. In contrast to other major industry events, Search Solutions aims to be highly interactive and collegial, with attendance limited to 60 delegates.

The high quality technical programme includes presentations, panels and case studies in which delegates present and share opinions, insight and expertise.

The event should appeal to researchers, practitioners, consultants, end users or indeed anyone interested in the latest developments in web and enterprise search.

PANEL


17:00 - 17:30 What will search look like in 2015? [PPT, 524 KB]

One of the interesting things about Yahoo's recently launched Time Explorer is that it "lets users explore the future" and "allows users to view predictions that are yet to occur." So that raises the question - what does it say about the way search will look in five years time? Unfortunately, the corpus it uses doesn't provide detailed answers to questions like this just yet. But we can pick up the baton. With Search Solutions entering its 5th successful year, it is a timely opportunity to ask the question ourselves: What will search look like in five years time? Which startups are most likely to change the commercial landscape? Which research ideas and prototypes will have become mainstream? If you want to find answers to questions such as these, then come and join us for the panel session at Search Solutions 2010.

Panelists

  • Nick Patience, 451 Group
  • Stefan Rueger, Open University
  • Jody Goodall, Trader Media
  • Charlie Hull, Flax
