You may notice when using QuickSearch that the algorithm for searching the library website has changed. QuickSearch uses Nutch, open source search software, and Nutch recently changed. Here's an example of how QuickSearch is different. When I used to search for "print," the first web result was the main "How to Print at D. H. Hill Library" page. Now QuickSearch finds various pages inside that directory ahead of the index page. We don't have the option to go back to the old version, so as we get used to the new, feel free to reply to this post with any observations.
Another QuickSearch note: If you use iGoogle, see the link at the bottom right of any QuickSearch results page -- a QuickSearch gagdet.
