Who is the most prolific search inventor?
I thought it might be fun to see who is the most prolific search inventor. I've a pile of search patents (about 40 in total) and went through them to compile a list of authors/inventors. This isn't a scientific study but it certainly a good way to work out who you should pounce on in search conferences.
