A number of speakers at the conference have said the following:
“Search is (or will be) the interface”
My question is: what does this mean? I’ve carefully listened to a lot of talks, and have kept my eye out for practical examples that show this concept in practice, but I’ve seen very little.
Can someone add a comment to explain this concept?

try http://www.x1.com which will explain it. Their ability to integrate in a variety of federated enterprise datasources with their fast as you type search interface gives a new view on the “one view” everyone has been wanting.

What “search as the interface” means is that search is behind the presentation of most or all of the information in an interface. So, rather than static views, information is presented *in context* using ad hoc search based on the users’ preferences or profile. The users see the information (and services, and people) that matter to them most at that particular time.

Faceted Classification or Guided Navigation is essentially search. Delicious could be considered search driven.
