[logs] History of Log Analysis and Modern Search Engine

[Joe_Wulf]

Hmmm, I have been looking for historical information and references to auditing
(the process of recording activity--as opposed performing an 'audit'), logging,
and when/where such things started, stories (both funny and serious), etc...

I'd like to add some historical perspective to logs and their strong link to
search engines in Wikipedia. Becuase these search engines have quickly become  a
common part of the global culture, some light should be shed on their origin. 


Most people don't know that the origin of these search engines is non-commercial
log management and analysis.
I had a great book on the history of log analysis but lost over the years. Would
anyone know of any good book references with a less technical but more historical
flavor?


Thank you,

Gregg Dotoli
