Electronic bloodhounds in the form of smarter, more sophisticated Internet search engines may sniff out the good from the bad in your next World Wide Web search. Autonomy Inc. Gaunt's company makes a new Internet search program called, appropriately enough, Autonomy. Most current search engines simply scan the Web for word matches.
Bad searches are among 'Net surfers' biggest complaints.
Even after trying different words andphrases, you can't always find what you want. And as more and more information goes onto the Web, searches only become more frustrating. But the more you tell Autonomy, the better the search. Sometimes Autonomy can tie up a computer. And occasionally, it can bring back too many matches.
