Whereas today's search engines provide largely anonymous or uncredited information, future versions might highlight or recommend web pages created by recognised or familiar individuals. The integration of search engines and social networks could also enable queries such as "Has any of my acquaintances been on holidays in New Zealand?" or "Recent articles on hypertext authored by people associated with Ted Nelson".
