If you let me know how you use grep to search the internet as effectively as I do with Google, sure!

Effectively or Efficiently? I can search the internet way better. Email me what you are looking for and 9 times out of 10 I will send you back something better than what Google will spit out. Furthermore you won't even have to sift through 10 links, or change your search, I will do all this and send you the result back.

    Taking the most expensive keywords as a source: Attorneys, Insurance, Travel, etc... I'll use SuperLawyers + Avvo + Yelp for Attorneys. I'll go directly to insurance websites and compare rates. I'll go to Kayak, CheapOAir, Hipmunk and the likes for travel.

  Using grep?

  This is such an incomprehensible boast. Do I think that you might be able to deliver me handpicked results that are better than a Google search? Sure. Can you do it for me in 100ms or better, and at no cost? What are you even proposing, human search agents? That's absurd.

    You say that like Google doesn't employ humans to help make their search results better. They do. Most companies which build their primary product on some form of heuristics have "domain experts" who help filter the wheat from the chaff.

    Do I think that you might be able to deliver me handpicked results that are better than a Google search? Sure. Ok, so you agree partially. Can you do it for me in 100ms or better Not all searches require an immediate reply, so I'll just focus on those. Looking at the list of the most expensive keywords on Google, it is safe to say the vast majority consist of searches that do not necessitate a decision at the moment of the first try. Think Attorney, Insurance, Travel. and at no cost? Yes. It is free, and ad supported.
