Comments on: Google ups market share by default not popularity http://www.altsearchengines.com/2008/06/21/google-ups-market-share-by-default-not-popularity/ The most wonderful search engines you've never seen!

They're so attached to their creations that they don't realize their solution is just a one trick pony that doesn't scale (in many senses). Google is not perfect in the sense that you cannot have perfect search engine unless you solved the hard AI problem, which remain unsolved and will remain unsolved for foreseeable future. None of the alt se people have demonstrated their competence or potential yet. This is coming from someone who has built multiple search engines. I do look forward to real innovations in the field (including the ones from G). But I've yet to see one. The only people who are frustrated with Google are their competitors.

What is the void? What is the frustration? I don't think people are actually frustrated by search. Nobody know their old phone was insufficient until the iPhone came along. Like the iPhone, search users won't even know there's anything wrong with the old model until they experience something better. I see the young girl, but not the old lady. What is the void?
