xiphon - Thought we weren't allowed to admit to such things..

Although my (Android :?) tablet which I use STW on lots doesn't, of course, have adblocker...

Not by ignoring one of the three words you searched for, using quotation marks.

Man who can't work Google complains it doesn't work.

He figured out the [i]Verbatim[/i] setting later:

You need to go to a lot of trouble to stay off the grid

Possibly an exciting route to go down though

So how do you think search engines pick the best results? It's always going to be subjective.

I'd like them to return results relative to the question, not relative to who's asking the question.

It stops the porn adverts so it must work.

I like the fact google is one step ahead of me - it make searching much easier, I can't see the downsides at all.

I'd just like to add that I bloody LOVE this, from that duckduckgo advert:
Thank the lord she's not a child
[img] [/img]

(I tried duckduckgo a while back - somebody told me I wouldn't last a month. I didn't)

Its not all about the big corporates either.

We've had riders from 11 different countries; from as far away as Vancouver and new Zealand. International reach like that would cost a fortune using some thing like adverts in leading magazines or more traditional marketing methods. With Google its either free or a few pence per person (referral/click).

Surely its not a bad thing that Google (using data collection) can accurately match people who want something with small or new businesses that sell it??
