As long as we are off topic once again, a better choice would be
a search engine which searches the internet search engines such
as www.profusion.com.  None of the search engines are perfect and
the meta tags have a lot to do with what comes up on your initial
search.  There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes including
pay for ranking and thus how quickly you are "found" (page one of the
results or page 20).  I am not sure which engines (Alta Vista, etc.)
are playing this game, but it does exist  It's called free enterprise!!.
