自然文検索は利用に耐えうるか

自然文検索は米 Ask Jeeves が一生懸命取り組んでいますが、利用に耐えうるものなのか。PC Magazine は、それに対して

Natural-language searching means that instead of typing "Dvorak writer magazine" to see which magazines I write for, you would type "What magazines does John C. Dvorak write for?" This eventually leads to "If John C. Dvorak writes for magazines, what are they, where are they, and does he have a phone number I can call?" Do this with Ask Jeeves and you get a "sponsored" link to a telephone directory CD-ROM that you can buy. Then there are two come-ons for magazine subscriptions and a link to "books by Dvorak." This is followed by links to incredibly obscure blogs that mention Dvorak columns. Useless. [PC Magazine / Search Engine Mania ]

自然文検索まだまだ発展途上。
