- iamdave 18y agoCall it irony, but I think this produces higher quality results than paid results. Interesting little quirk, search for 'gmail' and look at the results. Nostalgia of proportions only a true geek would appreciate.
- pius 18y agohaha. You know, I didn't appreciate the magnitude of what they did until trying out your suggestion. I didn't realize that they'd literally gone back to the old search index . . . I thought it was just a superficial change.
- bootload 18y ago"... I didn't appreciate the magnitude of what they did until trying out your suggestion ..." Try "Al-Qaeda". The index is pegged at ~= 9mth prior to 911. I know it's of questionable taste but it's an interesting exercise to see what public information google indexed. Or try http://www.google.com/search2001/search?hl=en&q=pixar+Wall.e http://www.google.com/search2001/search?hl=en&q=pixar+Wa...

- bootload 18y ago"... Bin+Laden... Totally interesting ..." Bin Laden is interesting all right. By '99 he was #456 on the FBI's most wanted list ~ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FBI_Ten_Most_Wanted_Fugitives,_1990s#Osama_bin_Laden http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FBI_Ten_Most_Wanted_Fugitives,_... and now on the Tango watchlist ~ http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/terrorists/terbinladen.htm http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/terrorists/terbinladen.htm
