Summary


  1. The gobal situation in search engines is dramatically changing...

  2. ... towards a monopoly. This threatens the information society.

  3. It is doubtable if search engines out of niches may change the situation.

  4. The semantic web seems not to be a realistic alternative on a large scale.

  5. We rely on semantics infered out of pure text.

  6. The invisible web and NLP-interfaces are most outstanding challenges.
