A very balanced analysis from Agnes @SearchExplained. Some roadmap progress but also a challenging user experience. The first enterprise search application was implemented in 1965 (yes, 1965!) and yet we are still failing on the basics of a satisfactory user experience!

Remember Querqy, the query rewriting library for Lucene-based search engines that lets you use business rules to fix search issues? It's now available 'unplugged' thanks to Johannes Peter & others to work with vanilla deployments https://t.co/aJC5wrHxK6

@IntranetFocus Why not use a reference manager? EndNote was my first real professional job and I am still proud of it

Microsoft's track record in developing and commercialising revolutionary bits of software makes me somewhat less enthusiastic than perhaps I should be.

@WarGit My stepfather was a communist labor organizer before the war, he was a radioman in the Pacific island campaign in WWII, worked in postwar Japan. Later, he refused to talk about the war and was a committed Pacifist. He was gentle, nurturing and loved hiking and camping.

@ResearchBuzz @morisy @estherschindler I’ve retweeted, and hope one of my circle replies. If not, try the Apache Solr mailing list, the best people. They have notes in how to ask.

“Crypto is a movement based on the theory that the existing nation-state is a system rigged by billionaires, and the right response is to create a different and more corrupt order rigged by different billionaires, money launderers, and dictators.” https://t.co/vJ93bOuepA

Not just defining the problem, but also recommending solutions, very fine paper

Moving beyond "algorithmic bias is a data problem"

This info on Chrome prediction keystroke flow visualization looks really useful for search engine auto-suggest analysis as well

@ABM_Prottoy @mbanzi If you like that, check out: https://t.co/V0GZKy8IDX

You can do some fun stuff with that information

Has anyone used @wandb for search models and ML? I am intrigued.

@_tallison I had one engagement where they wouldn't let me fix things, but I could report them. I came in every morning and did a * search. Some days I'd get 100K more results than other days...
