Back in 1991 Matthew Koll, then a research fellow at AOL, described the approaches to finding information on the Internet as attempting to solve the 'haystack problem' in the following words:
A known needle in a known haystack
A known needle in an unknown haystack
An unknown needle in an unknown haystack
Any needle in a haystack
The sharpest needle in a haystack
Most of the sharpest needles in a haystack
All the needles in a haystack
Affirmation of no needles in a haystack
Things like needles in any haystack
Let me know whenever a new needle shows up
Where are the haystacks?
Needles, haystacks - whatever.
 |
| A huge needle in a small haystack ... easy! |
 |
| A gigantic needle in a smaller haystack ... too easy! |
 |
| Where the hell is the needle in this bookstack? |
 |
| Now they teach university course on this subject, whew!!! |
 |
| Good Luck! Make sure you have a GPS with you... |
 |
| Well, that needle is probably on her hairlock... |
 |
| OK, get that? Now starts the reverse engineering process ... |
 |
| Ah! The coveted relief... |
 |
| Hard work finally paid off... |
 |
| Needles, needles, everywhere needles... |
 |
| Male & female needles play catch-up with each other! |
