Michael Arrington of Tech Crunch had a chance to talk to Marissa Mayer, Vice President of Search Product and User Experience at Google, about her “search is 90-95% solved” story in the LA times.
Mayer said in the original article that “Search is an unsolved problem. We have a good 90 to 95% of the solution, but there is a lot to go in the remaining 10%”. Mayer also alluded that Google still has some mountains to climb before its search has fully adapted to the internet and its growing trends, such as embedded video, maps, and electronic books. Arrington agrees that internet search is still “in its infancy.”
Mayer ended the conversation with saying that the ideal search engine is the user’s “best friend”; it should tailor answers to you based on preference and existing knowledge, and ask, “What do you want?” Hopefully, this is an indication of what’s to come to the Google search engine.

I don't know why they would have a section with absolutely no article, but only have some hot chick connected to the "google is 90% complete" link. Whatever though, that chick is hot!

Let me explain to you how The Internet works. You see, you write an interesting article filled with detail and useful information. Then you put a photo of a hot chick along with it and all most guys are going to take from your article is "man, look at that babe."
