Google, Bing, Duck Duck Go, etc. do not
suck for their 1/3rd. Instead they are from
something up to okay up often quite good up
to excellent.
Recently they handle some special cases in
cute, special ways but for most of their
core work are still
basically an old library card catalog
subject index with the results sorted by a
gross popularity measure. Net, their
technique can work quite well when looking
for content based mostly on just text,
possibly from metadata, and where the user
has a list of key words/phrases that accurately
characterize the content. In that way they
grabbed their 1/3rd.
