[governance] Re: [IRP] 'search neutrality' to go with net neutrality

[Sylvia Caras]

Raff's article raises important big questions as do others in this
conversation.

On the micro/personal level, I am wondering if Google search may have
become unwieldy.  The hits I now get are diffuse and I have to be more
and more careful to narrow search terms.  For me, search is much less
effective than, say, a year ago.  Partly because the universe searched
keeps getting larger, but also partly because sites are wrongly
tagged, wrongly included.  I find too many aggregated sites as hits
and also some that have no hit term at all on their first page.

On the other hand, Google alerts seem to be working better and better
for me, finding citations in articles and books that I'm guessing are
newly online.
