 ## Tackling the problem
 
 The book approaches the problem first by a top-down analysis of how a typical

+give some examples of relevance score tuning and show how it helps improving

+## What I like
+
+The book approaches the problem from various views: business view, algorithmic
+view, and practical view (giving examples). The book accentuates the diversity
+of problems and thereby encouraging readers to critically think of their own
+problems.  While it suggests that search results should be influenced by
+sponsors, it also notes that without balance that will as well lead to failure.
+
+## What I don't like
+
+Its structure is somewhat unclear and flow to me.  I think some chapters can be
+re-ordered so it's more logical.  Also, I find weighing sponsors' priorities
+over customers' unethical, but that is probably just a harsh truth in this
+society rather than the authors' view.
