Microcontent Manipulation

I believe that the future of search engines is in microcontent manipulation. The current sequence of articles from a certain beginning to a certain end will be shattered to pieces and the development of an argument from assumption to deduction will lose its hypnotic power. Each excerpt will have a life of its own in cyberspace and will find its place sometimes in one role other times in another role. The original intention of the author will be forgotten and each new author will recycle the excerpt for his new intention.
The user will enter his search terms and get (accurate) microcontents as answers.
There will be several views to choose from:

· View by country
· View by date
· View by person or company etc.

In order to rearrange the microcontents future search engines will need first to unify the scattered answers into one document and then to retrieve the "views" according to special algorithms.

In the following example you'll see a "view by country" that I arranged manually in Microsoft Access. I unified into one document the following collections:

Then I read the whole document and gave each record a tag (country name).
Then I filtered the countries and sorted them by alphabetical order.
I slightly erased superfluous repetitions but I never added a word of my own.

Austria
As if gambling weren’t addictive enough, European companies are making it easy, too. The hot trend overseas is games of chance via cell phone, otherwise known as “m-gambling.” Lottery tickets now can be bought through mobile phone in the Netherlands, Austria, Britain, Germany and Sweden. It’s even easier to bet on games or enter sweepstakes by phone.
Forget about grand casinos and shady bookmakers. Europeans can now satisfy their gambling urges on the spot -- with their cell phones. "M-gambling" is gaining speed after a sputtering start in the late 1990s when it relied on a far slower technology called WAP. In the Netherlands, Sweden, Germany, Britain and Austria, regular mobile phones can now be used to buy lottery tickets, bet on sporting events or enter sweepstakes for prizes.

China
Roulette history is hard to come by because the origin of Roulette is lost, and there was likely some form of a wheel based game going back almost as far as the origin of the wheel itself. There are stories that the game was invented in China and brought to Europe by traders who were trading with the Chinese.
The origins of the game of casino Roulette remain unknown until this very day. Some speculate that casino Roulette was invented by the Chinese people. The Roulette game made its way to Europe sometime during the 17th century via merchants who learned how to play Roulette game during as a result of their travels to the Far East, where they use to trade merchandise.

Europe

The "En Prison" rule - This rule is offered in some European casinos. According this of the Roulette Rules, when the outcome is zero, it is allowed to leave the bet for another Roulette spin. In the case when the following spin the outcome is zero again, then the whole bet is lost.
Single 0 wheels may be found in North America, but often require an unreasonable minimum bet. Online Roulette wheel's may be either American or European, but of course this only matters if the online casino keeps it's odds straight.
The Roulette rules - European: On European Roulette wheel there are thirty-seven numbers, including 1 to 36, and zero. That's why the European Roulette is called "Single zero roulette". Roulette player has the option to bet on certain number, combination of numbers or pick whether the number will be red or black. In European Roulette there are several rules.

France
With its popularity arising in the mid 18th century in greater Europe, some say the inventor is none other than the famed mathematician and early computer mind Blaise Pascal. If this is true, then the game has truly come full circle, as the new wave of players log on to try online roulette.

History of Roulette The first form of Roulette was first devised in 17th century France, by the mathematician Blaise Pascal, who was supposedly inspired by his fascination with perpetual-motion devices. In 1842, fellow Frenchmen Francois and Louis Blanc added the "0" to the Roulette wheel in order to increase house odds.

Chances are if mobile betting proves lucrative in the UK and elsewhere, carriers will look to protect their own partnerships and revenues to do something to try to block the third-party Java apps and services.
These certainly aren't the first moves into mobile betting, which has been around since the early WAP days, and the famous Hong Kong Jockey Club now takes more bets from mobile devices than it does online.

United States
The use of the double zero Roulette wheels survived in the United States and is sometimes called the “American Wheel”. The introduction of the single zero wheel (with better odds for the player) resulted in the demise of the double zero wheels in Europe and has become known as the “French Wheel” in Roulette history.
Eventually, the game was brought to America. However, the single "0" modification was rejected in the United States and Roulette history was altered forever with American Roulette wheels being made standard with the two zeros "00". Western miners made the game very popular in the United States Although both the double zero and single zero wheels originated in France, the double zero became known as the "American Wheel," because it was accepted with open arms and survived in the states.
The history of poker in the United States has a bit more consistency. Poker traveled from New Orleans by steamboat up the Mississippi and Ohio rivers. The game then spread via wagon and train. Modifications such as stud poker, the draw, and the straight became popular, during the Civil War. European influence of poker ended when the joker was introduced as a wild card in 1875.
The history of poker is a matter of some debate. The name of the game likely descended from the French poque, which descended from the German pochen ('to knock'), but it is not clear whether the origins of poker itself lie with the games bearing those names. It closely resembles the Persian game of as nas, and may have been taught to French settlers in New Orleans by Persian sailors. It is commonly regarded as sharing ancestry with the Renaissance game of primero and the French brelan. The English game brag (earlier bragg) clearly descended from brelan and incorporated bluffing (though the concept was known in other games by that time). It is quite possible that all of these earlier games influenced the development of poker as it exists now. English actor Joseph Crowell reported that the game was played in New Orleans in 1829, with a deck of 20 cards, four players betting on which player's hand was the most valuable.
The history of blackjack, as we know it today, goes back to the 1800's, when it reached the United States. Back then, in the card rooms of the Wild West, craps and poker were considered the ideal games for high rollers.
Roulette was brought into the U. S. in the early 1800s, and again in order to increase house odds a second zero, "00", was introduced - although in some forms of early American Roulette the double-zero was replaced by an American Eagle.
The game was called 'twenty one'. It came to the US in the 1900s and was soon the most popular casino game in the Vegas casinos. At the internet today, there are hundreds of online casinos offering the game of black jack. Most casinos allow to play for free to experience the casino software and tryout the casino games.

In Microsoft Access each excerpt is a record.
Summing up these records per country I got the following table:

UK 9
Europe 8
United States 7

Netherlands 3
Hungary 2
