====== Search Engine Sanity ======

GOOGLE is just useless

I wanted to do a quick blog entry, I typed in <code>www.ksmith.ccom</code> on accident with google as the search engine...

//**This web site did not appear anywhere**//.  There were around 60 (six-zero) responses to the obviously mistyped query, not one mentioned this site which has existed since before you had to pay for a domain name.  Now, I understand, there are paid advertisers and all that, so I would not expect it to be the first thing, I would however expect it to be in the page somewhere:

{{ :blog:www.ksmith.ccom_-_google_search.pdf |A PDF of the Google Search, 7 pages not there}}

Now I repeated the same "mistake" with Bing.  It produced an expected result with this site listed as the 6th entry

{{ :blog:www.ksmith.ccom_-_bing_search.pdf |A PDF of the Bing Search, Fairly near the top}}


And Finally I repeated with DuckDuckGo.  It promoted the expected type fix up one more

{{ :blog:www.ksmith.ccom_at_duckduckgo.pdf |A PDF of the DuckDuckGo Search, again near the top}}

I think this is pathetic, I've seen similar mis-types do the same thing with google.  Makes me wish AltaVista was still around.
