Question #3, Part 3 - Official Sites and Language Settings
What can search engines could do better?
**Official Sites**
The respondent wrote:
-
*Always list the official site first. (So if I do a search for Nabisco I want nabisco.com listed first, not several articles about Nabisco).
Comments: A few years ago search engines weren’t very good at always getting the official page in the first position, but now they generally are. But what if users click more often on the non-official page because the official page isn’t the best source?
**Language Settings**
The respondent wrote:
-
* Ask me for the languages I am able to comprehend since links that are mostly written in Czech, Chinese or Icelandic do not really help me.
Comments: most engines do let users set this preference, but it’s definitely not foolproof. Results in other languages still show up often enough to be noticeable.
