Does anyone else offer a search engine result that actually updates regularly and that is comprehensive across even odd searches.
I don't know how accurate Compete's numbers are, but it looks like Bing-powered search engines are about a third of search traffic and rising slowly.

If Google's results keep getting worse, and if they annoy people too much with the + thing, and if the FTC slaps them hard in these anti-trust hearings... Google would have a lot of things going against it in the search biz.

I wonder exactly how much it would cost for a new competitor to get started...
