...and correct me if I'm wrong --- Hey I can do that, and in this case, you're not. Google is all I've used since they first went up on stanford.edu. It's a massive Linux cluster. --- From my nix ...'task prompt', I set up a shell function where I just type 'search' and then <google_search_word/phrase> and it returns the top 10 results. What I use more often though is the single 'I'm feeling Lucky' result, so that when I type '?' <word/phrase> at the *nix prompt, I get the near instantaneous #1 google result (via Lynx) for whatever word or phrase I typed. I use it all the time. -JCJ

It's different - it is good if you are looking for a site that other sites link to. It got famous for three reasons: 1) Its array of Linux machines. 2) Jakob Nielsen is involved. 3) Funny search results, try "I hate software bugs" or "Reliable operating system in europe" But if you search for stuff that people do not link to, Google isn't good. And don't use the words on the page, you are looking for. Use the words that other pages use to describe what you are looking for.
