I've heard that historically all the major search engines have used a lot of hand-tuned results (ordering, exclusions) across the highest frequency searches. IIRC Microsoft bought Powerset in '08 just before the launch of Bing spe

It has always struck me as completely silly that fridges are seemingly designed so that their contents are maximally occluded. My solution has been to have 3 to 4 large plastic containers, Tupperware, etc., in the 1.5 - 3 gallon (~6-12 lite
