Well, for a search apparatus it's fairly useless. There is nothing there.

Every replacement for Google seems to lack one thing important to me as an IT professional: groups.

Love the idea, but "Clusty" sounds like an antibiotic-resistant infection.

Or the Japanese first lady's black pant suit.

There have always been and always will be continued improvements in all areas of software. Altavista used to be state of the art, now it's Google. There will be another. (a good reason not to hold google stock for 20 years). As hardware changes new software will come along. In fact I'd bet that since searching on the internet has become such an important use of the internet, a hardware company might be the next search company. Designing a CPU and chipset designed exclusively for sorting (i.e. the heck with floating point instructions).

" Google executives have long conceded one of their great fears is to be overtaken by a more advanced Internet search technology."

Dreaming of the day I'm able to grep the internet with a regex;

"The'll be no stopping me! <spookyVoice>BWAAAAAA HAAAAA HAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA</spookyVoice>
