Abstract

Today's search engines return a wide range of information from diverse sources with lightening speed. The information that is returned, however, is independent of who asked the question or the context in which the information need arose. Next generation search engines will make increasing use of context about the searcher, domain and tasks to dramatically change the search landscape.
