Dvorak is rambling. "To do its job, Google has to maintain up-to-date and redundant copies of the entire Internet on its servers. It's a ridiculous idea." What??? It's ridiculous? Someone forgot to tell Google. By his measure, archive.org ("The Wayback Machine") would be preposterous.
At any rate, for 95% of all targeted Google searches I make, I can find the answer I'm looking for without leaving the search results page. It appears in the search result entry, highlighted by my keywords.
Is "search" broken? Maybe, if you mean that Google can't tell me "the best knitting site". But who can? For me, Google is a fulltext search of a billion pages. And that <u>works</u>. <div class="ericcartmanisawesome">yes, I know news.YC doesn't parse the previous underline tag. But, if you're reading this site, you do.</div>
