A paper was posted here a few days ago about how to use individual tasks on crowdsourcing marketplaces to put together articles on complex topics: https://joe.cat/images/papers/knowledge-accelorator.pdf https://joe.cat/images/papers/knowledge-accelorator.pdf I can imagine the first two steps of their process working for a human-assisted search machine. Specifically, the "finding sources of information" and "filtering information" steps. But, I'd imagine the human workers would still need more complex / configurable search tools than Google (which is probably what the workers in the study used to find their sources).
