Sorry about that, Charles! Still, I mean it about Wikipedia. It shouldn't be gaining the weight of authority it is getting. I like it, but it ain't everything. Pretty cool to make a pretty darn good search engine in four hours. Oops-I didn’t read carefully enough–this is just a baby demo thing. Sorry about that, Charles! Still, I mean it about Wikipedia.

We all need to get out more! Hmmm, nice looking layout for results. But I worry about the slothful trend of the new search engines to pull up not only Wikipedia but the more useless parts of Wikipedia--like the talk pages: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Amyotrophic_lateral_sclerosis And a 1999 item as one of the first results is way too old--can’t they exclude things that old as among the first results? I need a search engine to be as good as PubMed in that respect or I don’t go back. But a good effort so far.
