document genres and search

the best idea to enhance search experience that i’ve read about in years: clustering search engine results into document genres, by peter merholz from adaptive path. (somehow related to the idea to separate commercial from informational queries i had once ago.)

for further insight on document genres and how they can be useful in information architecture see the talk (pdf!) peter has held at this year’s IA summit. very interesting.

update: link to pdf corrected.
