Abstract

Reviews the Autonomy intelligent search agent for the Internet. The system searches for Internet sites based on a description of the search problem, the user selects suitable documents and the search is retained using this selection. The evaluation indicates that Autonomy is not suited to ad hac one-off searches as it takes too long compared to more traditional search engines. Search agents could be used for monitoring the WWW, or searching newspapers
