Ch 6 Question 4

Discuss ways in which you would like to see search engines improved?

Search engines are a good tool to use for the most part there really are not a lot of modifications that could be made to fix them. Although there is that annoying function of typing a certain location, or musician, or a book etc. and getting irrelevant results.  In my opinion companies could start off  by creating a function that you could select that narrows down results. Say for example you want to look for an electronic book pdf on bing and you get hundreds of thousands of results most of which do not even relate to your search. Google could make a function if you receive after you type your search and you click the function and this would narrow down the results to from a thousand to about a hundred. Another type of improvement that could be improved could be if they not always have those annoying suggestions when you type in two letters. It is not really that much of a big deal I just find it quite annoying. Other than that I really cannot find too many other problems with search engines.
