      Preface

      Search plays an important and permeating role in our lives. It is primarily used to optimize our resources or minimize the risk in our daily lives. It takes many forms and shapes – checking on the weather, looking up traffic, analysing performance of the stock market, searching for shopping deals, catching up in social networks and following current events. We perform these searches in various ways – our own senses, flipping through TV channels, conversing with other people and using various websites, apps or devices.

      "A goal is not always meant to be reached; it often serves simply as something to aim at." — Bruce Lee
