the desire that most of the librarians in borges universe suffered was the desir e to uncover discover what they did not yet know from the librarys texts. this i s still impossible. the search function can return whatever text one feeds into it, but most users desire to find something beyond what they can type out themse lves. for example, sects formed in borges library that wanted to destroy the boo ks they viewed as meaningless a faulty designation and an impossible task or to find the true index of the library. the most frequent response of visitors to th e site is can we mark off or remove meaningless pages to help us find the meani ngful ones, and can a computer program be created to search through the pages a nd find the ones we desire. the responses of visitors to the website are similar to those of borges librarianshow can we find what we dont already know it seems the two produce a similar desire, and a similar frustration.
