The Finders

Anybody can search. I search for things all the time, but, as my wife can tell you, I do not often find them. Searching, without finding, can turn up all sorts of interesting trinkets, but is not successful if you don’t find what you were looking for. The quality of the search is determined by what is found.

Which is why I switched to Google way back when. I could search all day on AltaVista and not find a damn thing. And then, just feeling lucky, found it on Google.

So now Google wants to help me find things in video. So do others. It will be interesting to see how this develops. In searches for “suburbia,” Yahoo found images of suburbia, while Google found references to suburbia.

Meanwhile, I’d still like someone to index the comics.
