Is web search enough to win Jeopardy!?
A web search engine has access to an immense source of information and can quickly find relevant web pages given a small number of query terms. To play Jeopardy!, however, you must generate precise answers to the questions. A web search engine doesn’t return precise answers; rather, it is designed to return a ranked list of web pages the user may be trying to find. To answer a Jeopardy! clue you must go beyond the search result page, dig into documents that are likely to contain the answer, fetch them, read them, and locate the precise and correct answer within them.
