That is far, far from a trivial task. I don't mean indexing and all
that,
but classifying the data so that it is useful. For instance, AltaVista
is well nigh useless: it returns far too much garbage. The main
problem, in my view, is the lack of proper clustering algorithms.
As far as I know, they all assume that a point can belong only to
one cluster (i.e., here, a Web document to one category). I was toying
with a model that would allow a point to belong to several clusters
when I got side-tracked.
