[Search-l] Dice poll?

[Jeffrey Adkisson]

I think it will take over the larger share of the market, especially if 
it gets enough
press and links, and if the format keeps it as advertising-free/neutral 
as google used to be
(finds you the most accurate links without dragging you through sales 
sites).

One thing most people don't know how to do is the extra quotes and 
marks to get
specific information from general searches (used to be + in between 
words, now in google
it's " before and after, or so I'm told). Do we have these type of 
search tools included?
Can they be called out somewhere to make it more obvious?

Everyone I speak to complains about google. A replacement is overdue!
