Search don’t sort

April 14, 2004 by Michael Boyle

Search don’t sort

is the principle that stands behind Google’s Gmail. Rael Dornfest is beginning an experiment to do the same on his desktop.

I hadn’t really thought of it, but it’s not that different than what I have done for years. I have never really presorted email in anything other than chronological folders – no folders for specific subjects or anything like that. Any other system has always seemed inadequate for me, as it relies on building a taxonomy that is complete and exclusive – something that doesn’t mix well with email.
