Google used to be "the search engine for smart people".
Now, as it is the de facto standard, it is "the search engine for everyone".
That means when I search a part number it turns up a pop cd by serial number, when I ask for information on a scientific subject I get a 6 year old yahoo answers post, etc.
I realize now that, in the past, the most value I extracted from Google was finding good resources to refer to again in the future.
I've been considering writing a tool that, upon being queried, figures out 6-12 of the best resources available and googles within them for that query. Kind of the "Yahoo of Google" (back when yahoo was a directory based system)
