+ For the Techies #1 (1999)
Many of the concepts that underly Teoma come from IBM's Clever team. This search product was never publicly released. This paper explains, and is one of my all-time favorite papers about, web search.

+ For the Techies #2: DiscoWeb: Applying Link Analysis to Web Search (1999)
This is the first published paper on what would become Teoma. One of its co-authors, Apostolos Gerasoulis, is now the Vice President of Research and Development at Ask.com. Btw, DiscoWeb stands for Discovery Web (not a dancing search engine).
