While I feel generally that the burden falls downstream (i.e., on end-users), I concede that the accountability isn't always clear-cut.

Wrt, open government sites, it is interesting to postulate the scenario where a user employs the result(s) from a search which lead to a personal or business loss only to find out later (somehow) that the search engine query didn't return one or more documents which wouldn't have led to the loss. Where does the accountability lie - with the user, the search engine, the government? An enlightning paper.

You are required to write a guest post! :-) And, speaking of Peter Morville, look out for his upcoming book on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0596802277/" rel="nofollow"><i>Search Patterns</i></a>. I'm one of the reviewers, and I've been enjoying reading the current draft. Jeremy, you know my policy about self-promotion–the penalty is very strict. You are required to write a guest post! :-)

It kinda crystallized a lot of the thoughts I'd been having about how all of these things tie together: task, evaluation, stepwise function learning, etc. It needs to be holistic, I agree. At the risk of blatant self-promotion, I had a few thoughts about it earlier this year, outlined in three related posts: http://irgupf.com/2009/04/09/retrievability/ http://irgupf.com/2009/04/23/retrievability-and-prague-cafes/ http://irgupf.com/2009/04/30/more-and-faster-versus-smarter-and-more-effective/ There is certainly a lot more to talk about in this space, but again, I loved the Azzopardi and Vinay paper; I think it can be a catalyst to a lot more interest work on this topic.
