IU informatics researchers throttle notion of search engine dominance
Search engines are not biased toward popular Web sites, and may even be egalitarian in the way they direct traffic. view more (2006-08-08)
Study shows Google favored over other search engines by webmasters
Web site policy makers who use robots.txt files as gatekeepers to specify what is open and what is off limits to Web crawlers have a bias that favors Google over other search engines, say Penn State researchers whose study of more than 7,500 Web sites revealed Google's advantage. view more (2007-11-16)
A new system preserves the right to privacy in Internet searches
A team of Catalan researchers has developed a protocol to distort the user profile generated by Internet search engines, in such a way that they cannot save the searches undertaken by Internet users and thus preserve their privacy. The study has been published in the Computer Communications magazine. view more (2009-11-06)
If at first you don't succeed, let the search engine try
No matter how good a search engine is, it is sometimes necessary to change the search terms to get the information you need. But what if you did not have to change the search terms yourself? What if the search engine could do that for you? view more (2009-06-08)
Key science Web sites buried in information avalanche
As more and more people are turning to the Internet to find information, important science websites are in danger of becoming buried in the sheer avalanche of facts now available online. Key science sites are failing to register in the top 30 Google search results. view more (2007-03-22)
"Anti" sites most likely to come up first during Internet searches on vaccination
Almost half of the first top 10 websites displayed by leading search engines on vaccination are emotive "anti" sites, finds a study in the Archives of Disease in Childhood. Many masquerade as official scientific sites, making it easier for users to be misinformed, say the authors. The researchers keyed in the terms... view more... (2002-06-25)
Search engine experts look forwards to completely digital lives and backwards to Washington's letters
A conference at the University of Sheffield is set to celebrate ten years since the first Web search engines, and will reveal some of the capabilities of search engines of the future, and the way that our use of computers will lead them to new ways of archiving and retrieving information. Presentations at the conference will include ways that we... view more... (2004-07-23)
Researchers predict click-through behavior in Web searches
In the world of search engines, clicks mean cash, and in a sluggish economy, companies can benefit by maximizing click-throughs to their Web sites from search engines. view more (2009-03-11)
Swift searching for open source
Finding the open source code you need can often seem like searching for a needle in a haystack. But with the development of the AMOS search engine finding your way through today's maze of software code has just become considerably easier. Aimed at programmers and system integrators but with the potential to be used by a broader public, the AMOS... view more... (2004-07-20)
New metal alloys boost high-temperature heat treatment of jet engine components
Measurement scientists at the National Physical Laboratory have reduced the uncertainty of thermocouple temperature sensors at high temperatures to within a degree. view more (2007-07-25)
From paper planes to jet engines
Throwing paper planes in class can be educational! Dr Julia King, Chief Executive of the Institute of Physics, used paper planes to explain the physics of flight to teachers at the Association for Science Education (ASE) meeting in Reading today (Friday 9 January 2004). She tackled the tricky subject of explaining what causes 'lift' in a wing, and... view more... (2004-01-09)
Purdue findings help Coast Guard modify search-and-rescue plane
Purdue University engineers are helping the U.S. Coast Guard deal with a possible 10-fold increase in vibration that could result from installing a larger observation window in a search-and-rescue aircraft to improve visibility during missions. view more (2005-10-19)
Ad click-through rate lower than previously thought

Iowa State engineer works to clean and improve engine performance
The five engines in Song-Charng Kong's Iowa State University laboratory have come a long way since Karl Benz patented a two-stroke internal combustion engine in 1879. view more (2008-09-18)
Catalytic converter gets the pollution out of diesel engines
In the near future the usual summer ozone peaks exceeding the allowed threshold may be a thing of the past: the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Switzerland has developed a new type of catalytic conversion system, which filters nearly all nitrogen oxides out of diesel exhaust gases using a refined control technology. This eliminates the main cause... view more... (2004-09-08)
Does the Internet really influence suicidal behavior?
People searching the Internet for information about suicide methods are most likely to come across sites that encourage suicide rather than sites offering help and support, finds a study in this week�s issue of the BMJ. view more (2008-04-11)
The PRIMA project aims to ease information retrieval: The computer serves its user better by tracking
What if your computer knew ahead of time what topic you want more information about? The Proactive Information Retrieval by Adaptive Models of Users (PRIMA) project develops methods by which the computer tracks the user's eye gaze and other activities, and learns to use those to identify what the user is interested in. view more (2005-04-14)
