Abstract
The Web has continued to evolve quickly. With the emergence of cloud computing, we see a new opportunity of creating a cloud platform to leverage developer ecosystem and enabling the development of millions of micro-vertical services and applications to serve users’ various information need. In this new world, there is an opportunity to build a more powerful and intelligent search engine that understands what users are trying to accomplish and helps them learn, decide and take actions. In this talk, I will first discuss a few new trends from cloud computing that will impact web search, and then I will share my thoughts on possible directions to tap into this new wave and develop not only innovative but also potentially disruptive technologies for Web search.
