That’s a great way to put it!

Of course if I learn that search will reliably find a thing, even if I do not mark up the thing, then it is arguably never lost, and never needs to be found, it only needs to be retrieved.

I wonder how many items in your personal archive, or mine, or anyone’s, have this property: the combination of one’s name, plus a set of search terms, reliably yields a singular result.

I’ve queued up that MP3, really looking forward to it.

Her Copycat project (with Douglas Hofstadter, http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=218767) remains fresh in my mind 15 years after I first read about it in Fluid Concepts and Creative Analogies.

But regarding Semantic Web technology (in the W3C sense), I’d suggest it implies a shift in emphasis regarding search. Rather than waste cycles hunting for stuff, it’s better not to lose it in the first place :)

I certainly appreciate the link!

“the idea that a single search will be used to fully address an information seeking problem is simplistic.”

Agreed. When I reflect on my own search strategies (http://delicious.com/judell/searchstrategy+jonudell) they are invariably multi-step procedures.

That’s why, actually, I think there’s a ton of headroom to improve online editorial products — and maybe even turn them into services I’d pay for.
