Op de weblog Federated Search 10 onrealistische verwachtingen van federatieve zoekmachines. Ik herken veel in deze punten:

1. Federated search is simple to deploy and configure, and it requires no maintenance.
2. It’s easy to create and maintain my own connectors.
3. All federated search vendors can (or want to) build connectors for all sources.
4. All sources should always be available.
5. Federated search should be as fast as Google.
6. Federated search should be a commodity that’s quick to procure.
7. Federated search should be as good as searching the native sources.
8. Federated search ranks perfectly.
9. Federated search deduplicates perfectly.
10. If one of a vendor’s products works well in your environment, their federated search system will as well.

 Vooral de snelheid is iets waar vaak commentaar op is met de opmerking dat het net zo snel moet zijn als Google.
