Well, it finally happened. I hit an unfortunate triple-witching point this week and I don't have a clever Search Challenge for you.
Then it occurred to me: The ultimate search challenge would be... to ask YOU to send in a search challenge!
So for this week, if you have an idea, even a nascent idea or just an idea-glimmer in the back of your brain pan, drop me a line. If I use your challenge, I'll definitely acknowledge your contribution and give a shout-out to your personal web-site or social-media connection. (Note: I reserve the right to edit your challenge questions to fit into the style and structure of SearchResearch.)
Idea? Let me know at dmrussell@gmail.com
I'll summarize whatever comes in tomorrow.
Remember: The point of a search challenge is to be (a) interesting, (b) solvable by using search methods, and (c) have a teaching point to improve your search skills.
If you think you've got something you'd like to share with SearchResearch, send it in! I'll be looking!
Create challenges!
There is a good question in http://christopherdanielson.wordpress.com/2013/06/10/summer-project/
