I don't think it could be summarized any better than that. Granted we aren't the general public, but we are essentially the [type] of people that put AltaVista and then Google on the map.
When I am looking for something, the last thing I want is distractions. It should be simple, easy, and preferably quick. Adding noise to this occasion could very well be an option for some, but it should not be a default for all. I test and compare search engines about once a month. Visual noise and irrelevant "related searches" are huge points that keep me from using Bing. Plus, I IMNSHO, I still think that Google results are in a more relevant order. That may change, which is why I occasional do comparison testing. -- ME2 On Thu, Jun 10, 2010 at 9:34 PM, Andrew S. Baker <asbz...@gmail.com> wrote: > Search is all about speed.
