Hi Martin! You say that you believe “that the days of index-based searches are over,” but what do you see as the alternative to index-based search? I am not offering any suggestions so as not to expose my ignorance! Mike

Probably tag-based stuff, like Digg, or social-based approaches like Wikia. If I knew, I would be doing it. ;)

Or maybe the Semantic Web will finally become a reality and search will get better (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swoogle). Then again, maybe not (http://www.well.com/~doctorow/metacrap.htm)!
