I've lost faith in the ability of the Google approach. Their results seem to have been turning to trash but then again, so has everyone else's. There's a few explanations.

Third is Google sets "the standard" and the other engines tweak themselves to follow the goog, regardless of results. Reality is it's probably all 3 and a few more that I haven't thought of
