Stephen Cambone Quotes

I think the search engines are the new equivalent of publishing: an enabler of information.

Google indexes the world's information.

In the early days, I really felt the pain of not being able to find information easily. I guess that helped me to develop an urge to write things like a search engine.

Despite the metadata attached to each tweet, and despite trails of retweets and 'favorite' tweets, the Twitter corpus lacks the latticework of hyperlinks that makes Google's algorithms so potent. Twitter's famous hashtags - #sandyhook or #fiscalcliff or #girls - are the crudest sort of signposts, not much help for smart searching.

Search is an unsolved problem.

Search engines generally treat personal names as search terms like any others: Data is data.

Google is all about information. So the notion of using and presenting information in the right point at the right time to users is what, in essence, describes Google.

Google is where we go for answers. People used to go elsewhere or, more likely, stagger along not knowing.

A search is a search, even if it happens to disclose nothing but the bottom of a turntable.

There's nothing that cannot be found through some search engine or on the Internet somewhere.

It turns out a human being in two, three or four hours can build a search result that's much better than Google, Yahoo or Ask.

Search as a paradigm will continue to be probably even increasingly important because the information that's out there is only going to grow exponentially - and the only way to sort through all that is by some form of search.

We want to make sure the thing you're looking for is on Google 100 percent of the time.

Enterprise search is becoming an indispensable tool to businesses of all sizes, helping people to find, use and share critical business information quickly.

All the information in the world has been pretty dispersed, but Google's mission has been to organize it and make it universally accessible.

Yandex originated from a company called Arkadia, which created two search programs under the DOS operating system in 1990.

Anything we can do that lets people find information more quickly is something we're interested in.

There are a lot of services trying to solve the information discovery problem, and no one has got it right yet.

The access to information the web provides is both daunting and exciting. Information that was once secreted away in library stacks is now so much more easily available.

That's the power of the Internet: you can literally find everything.

You can go into the Library of Congress and find information on just about anything, but that doesn't do you much good unless you know what you are looking for.

When you look at Google, its job is to find you the perfect web page. There are a lot of cases when you want to know something and a list of websites isn't ideal.

Relevance is a search engine's holy grail. People want results that are closely connected to their queries.
