Web Search--Google

The Boston Globe Chats With Google's CEO Eric Schmidt
As you'll read, Schmidt sees Google being the one search solution mechanism for all information. In responding to a question about the future of Google, Schmidt says, "So the obvious questions is: Where does Google go from here? And the answer is ... search. Let me give you an example: Are all the world's governments' documents online? Can you search all the government records of all the countries in which you're an international correspondent? No. Wouldn't your life be more effective, wouldn't information transfer be better, if all the information was online? Absolutely. What about all those premium services? I'm thinking of, like, the LexisNexis types. Wouldn't it be nice if some of that information were online and available in an integrated form? Maybe you'd have to pay for it in some way, we haven't figured it out yet. ... The mission of the company is [retrieving] all of the world's information. It's not all the world's information currently available on the Web, it's all of the world's information. So what I do is I sit down every day and I think about, `What information do I need to get through the day and why isn't it on Google?' And, you know, you just lop one [thing] off after another."
