In the rush to big data, we forgot about search by @acoliver via @infoworld

In the cloud era, we need to look at search to be the glue that lets us find the data and analyse it together, no matter where it lives.

This is an important area that we all miss and it needs to be given a better focus as I'm sure we lose part of the benefit of putting the data or a system in the cloud because of the inadequate searching. If you think back to relational database design and then you think about searches then sometimes you even add indexes especially for common searches as part of tuning so we already know it needs attention.
