Google is by far and away the easiest and cleanest interface to use. I’ve found an awful lot of people seem to have their browsers hijacked by search engines making themselves a user’s default. Normally this seems to occur when new pieces of software are added to machines. For the technologically uninitiated these sorts of trap door can really undermine confidence.

I just want to say that since I watch BBC news most days out of NY area stations, I see them offer their news also at ‘BBC.com/news’. Copper uses Google, which can’t seem to find that exact internet address. They offer many addresses for BBC news and other stuff, and even mention that particular one within the blurbs for the other connections, but a connection to that one is not within the first ten pages [100 choices]. When I was trying on Ask.com, I saw your page [on page 9]and it drew my interest–and I find that portal does exist! Of course I use the other connections, but wonder why the one they advertise is so difficult to find? Do they have any idea? Why don’t they advertise the first one Google offers instead? Well, Google is stupid in other ways, too. I, and many others can’t seem to get rid of ‘Safesearch’, so we use Ask.com, Bing, etc. Too bad for Google. As for the real purpose of your page and page design and usage——–don’t get me started! Thanks for the soapbox.
