Search Chronicles by Paul Nelson

Paul is an entrepreneur and patent-holding pioneer in search engine technology who wrote his first lines of search engine code in the late 1980s.  Co-founder of ConQuest Software, Paul was the original architect and inventor of RetrievalWare, a ground-breaking search engine that dominated the enterprise search space in the 1990s, and is today owned by Microsoft.  RetrievalWare was the first commercial product to provide natural language processing, statistical relevance ranking, a distributed parallel architecture, and to use semantic networks to improve search accuracy.

As Search Technologies Chief Architect, Paul brings 20+ years of search engine design experience to help customers get the most from their search projects.

In "Search Chronicles", Paul blogs about his thoughts and experiences working with some of the world's most sohpisticated search applications.
