..one reason not to, is the monoculture problem, according to google
search experience documented over at http://groklaw.net/ , it is
possible to "poison" the searches by manipulating meta tag info etc to
divert tons of irrelevant stuff into SCO history searches, a lot of the
stuff I find sorting SCO on dates on http://news.google.com listed as
"5 minutes ago", turns out to be 5 days, weeks or months old.
..cure is, try _several_ search engines, and consider homebrewing. ;-)
