Thanks a lot ! Thought provoking ...
I agree with you most of the time. Just on one point I'm not sure...
Call me old fashioned, but I still see some value in the lexicographic ordering.
When my user types "Paris", I want to show him not just the Paris (city in France) page (as Wikipedia does). I'm interested that (s)he sees (on the first screen) some entries "around" Paris
(France), such as:
Paris (Kentucky, United States)
Paris (Texas, United States)
Paris (Greek mythology)
or even:
John of Paris (French theologian)
Commune of Paris (1871)
An American in Paris
Or, maybe, not only alphabetical order, but the good old KWIC ?
