Which Search Engine is Best At Finding Airline Site Home Pages?
Nick Craswell, David Hawking, Kathleen M Griffiths · 2001
We evaluate the effectiveness of 20 Web search engines on 95 site finding queries. Each query names an airline, with the correct answer being the airline's official home page URL (as listed by the International Air Transport Association). Performance varies widely across the 20 engines, indicating that site finding problem is not consistently well solved in practice. Users may wish to take this into account when deciding which engine to query.
