Hah! I can remember back when WWW search engines were a new and exciting
thing! And more importantly, no matter what you searched for, you never got
more than a few screenfulls of hits, and most of them were positive hits,
too. And if it didn't, a rephrasing of the search criteria solved the
problem. Compared to that, almost all searchengines nowadays are worthless.

That was before Netscape arrived and made the WWW popular, though ;) Anyone
remember Netscape's HTML 1.1 ? :)
