The Most Advanced Search

Consider the world without search. Weird isn't it? How can we consider the world without a search. The world would have no meaning since every activity we do can be classified as a direct or indirect approach to search.

Now if search is so important in our lives, what can be the most advanced search technique that we humans can have. I had kept my wrist watch somewhere in my hostel room the other day and forgot where I kept it. Now having said that anyone who would have visited my room even once would easily understand what that means. Searching a wrist watch in my room without having a clue in which corner it can be is a real nightmare. Its actually my childhood habit to keep my room so organized so that things once lost inside my room would be impossible to search.:-). Then I had an idea ... What if we had a search facility , something like "ctrl+f" in adobe acrobat or word documents, which could search for things in our rooms, or for that matter anywhere. Just give it an image or name of the thing to be found and it would search for you. Cool, isn't it??
Is this the most advanced form of search we can have. The answer is obviously very ambiguous, but one thing's for sure, it needs a lot of work to be done in the field of Search Technology to make such a thing possible.
