INTRODUCTION TO SEARCH ENGINES
"If you ask most search engines how many home runs Mickey Mantle hit in 1958, you will get some answers that are right and some that are wrong; on the Web, where fantasy-baseball sites are at least as popular as Yankee statistics, it is hard to distinguish what is popular from what is true."
--Andrew Tomkins, IBM Clever Project
