Everyone at some point ponders the path not taken. We can only wonder what might have been. But what if we could know where each path might take us before we had to choose? That, with some poetic license, is the premise of this Catalyst position paper that proposes a new way of selecting the best approach to search from among several alternatives.
Rather than evaluate a search technique based solely on its own metrics, the paper suggests, more optimal results could be achieved by enumerating and storing the consequences of actions at key points in system usage. Once more information is obtained through continued system usage, the relative merits of choices not taken can be made clearer. This should allow information seekers to make better choices in the future.
