What is latent semantic indexing?
LSI means that a search engine tries to ***ociate certain terms with concepts when indexing web pages. For example, Paris and Hilton are ***ociated with a woman instead of a city and a hotel, Tiger and Woods are ***ociated with golf.
Google (http://www.searchenginefinder.com/Search_Engines/1.html) has been using this concept to determine suitable ads for its AdSense service for some time now. It seems that Google is now also using this concept to improve the quality of its search results (http://www.megri.com).
