(Probably I will now drop off the Google ranking for even posting this)
There is a little web site out there, telling you all about BigBrother/Google.
Very interesting reading. Gets me wondering, why do non-US search engines seem to shrivel-up and die. Maybe they get "helped" out of business by the NSA because they refuse to become puppets?
I only use the search engines to look up postings in the newsgroups (microsoft.public.*), for anything else, I seem to only find paid-for advertising.
Is there a MSN Search lobby group out there too?
