It's both. Google is still technically superior to the rest as well. Technically, search is far from being done. There are many interesting approaches in HCI, IR and systems remain to be tried. I really hope that blekko can come up with something more interesting than yet another cuil.
- gojomo 18y agoEven as something like Yahoo search has approached parity with Google on core results -- in fact sometimes surpasses, when I'm trying to find a document I know exists somewhere -- Yahoo has neglected to do some little, easy things that could help make it my primary search. For example, no "define:" operator, and their calculator/units-conversion isn't as good as Google's. I know these aren't key to the mass-market, but really: why let tiny things -- things an intern could add -- remain as gaps compared to Google? It gives me the impression no one is minding the store, methodically fixing everything that could prevent a person from switching.
