Searching for the future

Abstract

In a paper which he gave to the Institute of Information Scientists Annual Conference in Harrogate in 1989, Phil Holmes spoke of his concern that the searching systems now used are little more than tidied‐up and sophisticated versions of what was available 25 years ago. What, he wondered, were the new approaches to interrogating bodies of data, and who was investigating them? As a result of this paper, Phil was asked to expand on these ideas at one of the regular IIS Southern Branch meetings.
