You know what else sucks? Search engines!

Why the hell did they all have to copy Google, so now you can type in ten words, but you can't actually get it to look for pages containing everything you type?

If any one of the words is there, it pops up. It makes it damned near impossible to find anything, which seems to totally contradict the point of a SEARCH engine.

now... are you talking about how they get rid of words like "the" "and" and "or"? or how you'll get partial returns on a phrase like:

slicker's mom is a slut

so that you get pages that say "slicker's a slut" or "mom slut" but not necessarily "slicker's mom is a slut."

you need to enclose a phrase in quotes to get results containing every word in the search. that way

"slicker's mom is a slut"

somehow that actually doesn't bring any results up... we're gonna have to remedy that...

The other shitty thing I've been running into is when you get a list of 500 results & 498 of them lead you to some other hacked up "search engine" full of pop-ups, ads, and other varoius bullshit. Or even the ones that say "Compare prices for slicker's mom is a slut", "Buy slicker's mom is a slut on-line", or "Free shipping on slicker's mom is a slut"
