1. Yeah ...

It's pretty bad.

In a previous mini-review, I said it reminded me of the old webcrawler.

It's worse than webcrawler. That old search engine basically just threw shit up at you without a great deal of manipulation of the results for the sake of relevance. This thing seems to manipulate the results, but the relevance factor appears to be for the sake of obscurity and advertising.

Wholly unimpressed.

I ran across Google probably the first month it was online. I was immediately impressed. I used AltaVista still for a good long time, but I have yet to see anything even approaching something that could replace Google.

2. Much like me
I used AltaVista exclusively for years, then Google came along. It was far superior, and has remained as such.
