When it comes to search engines, your brain has it all over Yahoo! and Google. If you think of the word airline, your brain makes connections in all kinds of directions: planes, places, faces, food, money-and even airline companies.

"Your brain is associative," says Lars Bjork, CEO of QlikTech. "Think of trying to remember the name of someone you met 20 years ago. You don't drill down.
