When will these people learn that Google own the search market industry? *sigh*

I don't like the way they display results and it appears that's how they want it to be like - eew.

So they think they can do what MSN, yahoo, ask, and all the others can't? Good luck. Especially with a site as ugly as that.

Last I checked, I don't remember Google being so beautiful either.

Everyone said the same thing about Google when they first entered the market. You mean they want to take over MSN, Yahoo!, AskJeeves, and Altavista? (Dare I say eXcite?) GET OUTTA HERE.

Now look.

Ridiculous. They aim to rival google, yet typing in something as simple as 'unr' returns no results.

This doesn't return my name, it returns things like the Official site for the University of Nevada Reno, etc.

I agree that innovation doesn't always stick. Let's see what happens this time.

Hey, it's not THAT ugly.

I tried searching for something three times and got this:


No results because of high load...

Due to excessive load, our servers didn't return results. Please try your search again.
