Search Engines: Monier

John Battelle writes on Louis Monier "Why He's Going To Google"

What are you most interested in right now in the field of search?

Just to be clear, I think that Google has plenty of search experts, so I may actually never touch search. But since I have the mike in hand, what I find the most interesting problem in search is to think of it as a dialog rather than a one-shot thing: enter query, get ten links back. The search engine needs to do its part to keep the dialog going. That's what I said at Web 2.0 last year.

Note to me: Battelle has two "t's" and two "l's" and two not-next-to-one-another "e's" -- I can never seem to spell John's name right.
