It doesn't matter how much data you collect. Correlation analysis does not provide a path toward reverse-engineering complex systems like Web search engines.

Für Menschen sind "§ 92 I ZPO" und "§ 92 Abs. 1 ZPO" identisch.
Für die meisten Suchsysteme nicht, (auch) deshalb Normalisierung.

In general, you need to differ between different methods of #informationretrieval.

#Search vs. #navigation vs. #tags/labels vs. others + combinations such as teleportation ...

Furthermore, you need to differ between personal retrieval, where you yourself had done some filing/#categorization/tagging process and a process where you need to retrieve something from a corpus that was not somehow curated by you yourself but by one or many peers instead (social #tagging, company file server, ...).

And yes, in any case, your personal mental model changes over time. Therefore, it's difficult to do successful retrieval even for your personal files especially when you did not follow certain principles during the filing process.

For example, that's why tagging is not as simple as most people think it is: https://karl-voit.at/2022/01/29/How-to-Use-Tags/

Every time there's something in the news about Google search, Kagi zealots come out of the woodwork to troll you into submission if you dare say anything about Kagi that doesn't resonate with their view. It's weird and people should stop being weird about technology like this.

Kagi started as an AI company that wanted to slurp up the internet to provide a question "answering" service not unlike what Google is proposing to replace web search with. Perhaps they've toned this rhetoric down a bit on their blog recently but there's no evidence I'm aware of that the business has changed mission. All of this is still available on Kagi's own blog---including the fact that they used to be kagi.ai---yet somehow it's controversial to point it out. If you're looking for a web search engine that isn't likely to turn into a slop extruder, Kagi is probably not going to be the one. Try @[email protected] or Marginalia. This list might be helpful too.
