Re: google is so clean!

I used to like Google and the results their engine returned. Over the past year their accuracy has been sliding and the returns for a lot of my search strings are for commercial entities selling something. I search for information, not advertising. At this rate they will be no better than MSN?s search ?function? by the end of this year.

A note to Google: I can live with ads in banners, a search engine costs to run and it has to be paid for somehow. This said, the ads must be INDEPENDENT of the query return. Do not put links to advertiser sites in with the valid returns. If you mingle the advertisers' stuff in with the search results, then you are tainting the users return. This is essentially useless function to the searcher and will turn a lot of serious users away.

What are some alternatives Darby?
