Fun Stuff Friends Contact Us Google improves but still isn't user friendly Google now has the ability to search among more than 1 billion web pages. But we feel their site still lacks a basic understanding of user needs. Our main objection is that despite the colorful input screen, Google's search results are presented in a manner that is neither informative or easy to understand.
Results come out looking cryptic and garbled.
Information is presented in a more pleasing manner at most other search engines and even some meta search engines. In fact, it doesn't surprise us that Yahoo recently replaced their non-directory search database supplier Inktomi with Google. Google's results screen is so bad that it coincides nicely with the tedious results that are readily available at Yahoo. It seems that Google would eventually like to host a googol of pages in their database. This is a nice idea, but we here at SquirrelNet have always believed that bigger isn't better.
