I agree human interaction seems to be the most recent step that is changing the look and feel of engines, but please can we drop search 4.0. How about Spamable Search, Filtered Search, Social Search and Human assisted search or some variation Great article but can we drop the number thing… I agree human interaction seems to be the most recent step that is changing the look and feel of engines, but please can we drop search 4.0.

If you follow more than a handful of people of Twitter, it's quite likely that you will have seen more than a few posts along the lines of "anyone know....?" e.g. http://tweetscan.com/index.php?s=anyone+know Can you imagine search engine that streams 'live people results' back into a sidebar alongside the trad web search results? Now that would be putting humans back in the loop... Now I wonder, can Mechanical Turk cope with streamed job requests? ;-) Indeed, what would a streaming Mechanical Turk be good for?! I guess alongside search, it would have to be captcha cracking?! ;-) I was mulling over the idea of people powered search earlier today in a slightly different context, and it struck me that for people with effective twitter networks, twitter may be a pretty good human powered search engine…
