Internet as an information medium
Masses of information available information on the Internet
Search engines always return hits on a simple query
BUT
What kind of information, type and quality?
Is it comprehensive? Selected? Complete?

Internet search engines
Conclusions of a working group on Internet retrieval: Search engines:
differ in depth of indexing make mistakes:
They are subject to changes in indexing policy (indexing fluctuations)
They forget documents completely (document fluctuations)
They miss documents in their result sets (element fluctuations)
