20 years ago, the best we could do was boolean filters. Then Google came along and we've been charging forth down the fuzzy road ever since. At the first WSDM conference, intent was all anyone was interested in figuring out.

Now the population at large is far more computer literate than ever. I wonder if we still really need fuzzy search for everything in the same way we did 20 years ago. It seems like many geo-related problems would be better served by better boolean search.
