Hypersearching the Web

'We have developed a new kind of search engine that exploits one of
the Web's most valuable resources--its myriad hyperlinks. By
analyzing these interconnections, our system automatically
locates two types of pages: authorities and hubs. The former are
deemed to be the best sources of information on a particular
topic; the latter are collections of links to those locations.
Our methodology should enable users to locate much of the information
they desire quickly and efficiently.'
