Schachter's Hypothesis




<World-Wide Web> The observation that "Given two unrelated technical terms, an Internet search engine will retrieve only résumés".

This was first formulated by Joshua Eli Schachter (http://www.burri.to/~joshua/) in about 1998, while poring over the uniformly irrelevant pages that resulted from a search he'd run on "+Perl +MAPI" in Altavista.
