Title  : A Need for an Adaptive Search Tool for Teachers: Case Study 

Author Name  : Ms. Faezeh Seyedarabi, Arefeh Seyedarabi 

Synopsis  : 

Whether intentionally or not, teachers are excluded from having the full benefit of the new technologies developed and adapted by the search engine developers, while all the current and proposed research and developments are focused mainly on the end users (students/learners, businesses and/ the government) and not specifically on teachers who act as the mediator between information and their students. Consequently teachers are left searching in isolation, without the assistance and guidance of the adaptive search engines.
