    Is it just me who gets irritated by the fact that all google search results provide links which go via google? These links seem to pause for a couple of seconds (yeah I know....) before going to wherever it is I want them to go. It just seems to be getting noticeably slower.

      That's because Google indexes the page hits, and also most likely adds the clicked link to your personal search history.

          I quit Google for this reason; since a few weeks now it becomes very difficult to browse the results, especially if you have some Adblock-like extensions on your browser.

          while (!working) {
          Reboot();
          }

                I tried that a while back. It was so-so a the time but I ended up going back to the evil google at some point. Can't recall why. Think I will give it another go though.

                  Tried them a while back and got mediocre at best results. Went back to Bing. (I'm free of Google.)

                    It's actually kind of funny. A long, long, time ago (ok not that long but early Google) I wanted to work for Google. With an unimpressive résumé at the time I figured the best way to get the job was to author a search engine that had a unique feature they didn't have. This was the feature I chose. Unfortunately, I never finished the project. Got a job : )

                    Need custom software developed? I do custom programming based primarily on MS tools with an emphasis on C# development and consulting. "And they, since they Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs" -- Robert Frost "All users always want Excel" --Ennis Lynch

                        It works fine for me. It does what it says and I don't care about the rest as I have it adblocked away. PS. I have specifically excluded CodeProject from being blocked as I think we need to make sure we support our favourite site.

                        - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.
