    hmm faster searches *types in some terms, hits search and clicks on stop watch, then clicks it off* .3 Seconds. How the hell will they beat that?

    100% uptime? I have never seen bloody Google down lol

    More accuracy? What, will they actually filter out all those lovely word sites now that have 50,000 terms, one of which nets your search, and causes you to scroll frantically for it's link before sending you off to some dubious sites? That would be a welcome shift to see those die.

    Speed isn't really an issue for me, it's fast enough as it is thankfuly. However, there are some differences in search results, usually for the better...anyone remember what happened with Coke when "the best got better" ? ;)

    I tried a search and it returned more sites than normal google (80,100,000 vs 119,000,000)

    I would imagine that the 119million sites contains the original 80.1million plus loads more unrelated sites... yay!!

    It's good to see that they aren't resting on their laurels though and are still trying to improve a flawless service!

    Go Google!

    What you've said seems to contradict itself to me, correct me if I'm wrong.

    Seems slower to me. Found more, though.

    BigDaddy : Results 1 - 10 of about 100 for NBC3801. (0.98 seconds) 53 displayed, rest "similar"

    Google: Results 1 - 10 of about 64 for nbc3801. (0.68 seconds) 45 displayed.

    But now we're cooking on gas,

    BigD: Results 1 - 2 of about 3 for NBC3801 datasheet. (0.42 seconds)

    Goog: Results 1 - 1 of 1 for nbc3801 datasheet. (0.49 seconds)

    So I go along with the "more results" but point out with Big Daddy's extra finds the 'datasheet' word only occurs in a Google ad on the linked page. Seems a bit...commercial? :naughty:

    Seems to see my site as:

    junk spam filter pop up at junkions.com
    "automotive auto care your part online refinance search warranty for."

    Um. No.

    me?

    My point was that it finds more pages but i'd imagine that the extra ones found are probably useless :)

    I can't remember the Internet without Google :(

    And no, I've never seen it down either, heh. It's slowed up a few times, but never died. I'm sure that must be something to do with how they host it -- isn't it all spread-out on a huge number of cheap machines?
