So Google's search engine is crap because it allows people to 'only' search for a piece of information they're looking for? All the best startups are simple ideas.
Genius also has a great search engine, & allows you to play small samples of songs. It is also designed well and the UI is intuitive. It is more than a Hypothesis[0] clone.

You’re missing two key differences: Google doesn’t have to pay people to index their content. Genius had to pay music labels large amounts of money to index their content. Also, Google isn’t serving up the content itself. They’re directing people to competing content. Competition creates profit opportunities (ads). Genius users arrived on-site knowing more or less exactly what they wanted to see.
