I think I see - once-removed search capabilities, huh? Don't use search
that much myself, but then I don't do a real lot of research on the Web,
either. In the past I used to get quite aggravated by hitting bunches of
low-number search-engine placed sites which were totally, absolutely crap,
often because of ads and such, and finally find a decent site within the
scope I wanted after about 200 tries. This even happened on Google,
although last I remember was about 5-6 months ago. I'm not exactly a fan
of search-engines, although they may (hopefully) be improving.

It's often vague, disorganized, partly incomprehensible, and very poorly
illustrated with examples pertinent to the subject matter. "Ending" there
hardly inspires confidence in the medium supposedly defined.
