I’m excited to be publishing this interview series with federated search luminary Erik Selberg. Erik’s contributions to federated search go back to 1994. You can read my preview of this series with Erik (and the list of questions) here. The majority of my questions to Erik involve his development of MetaCrawler, one of the earliest metasearch engines.

In 1994, Erik Selberg created MetaCrawler, one of the earliest metasearch engines. Erik’s MetaCrawler was truly revolutionary in doing something we all take for granted today: querying and aggregating results from a number of search engines. Today, the work that Erik pioneered lives on in modern metasearch and federated search engines. For his vision and for his important contributions to and influence of today’s federated search technology, I honor Erik Selberg as the fourth luminary, standing together with Kate Noerr, Todd Miller, and Michael Bergman.
