> I do find it interesting that so many people have such great problems with their searches

Even ignoring the quality of the results, the idea that people refuse to pay 10 dollars for something as essential to life as a search engine continues to baffle me.

I think we can all agree on a couple of points:

- Information shapes our thoughts and our behaviour.

- Search engines provide and direct us to the majority of the information we consume.

- Thus, search engines have a significant influence on our thoughts and our behaviour.

How anyone can then conclude that the search engine of a hyper capitalistic ad company is the best alternative, just because it is 10 dollars cheaper, is beyond me.
