Dumping Google

Posted on June 20th, 2006 in Tech by Justin

OK, I can’t take it anymore.  I’m dumping Google.

I don’t know why (I doubt it’s political bigotry) but some of the sites I visit are no longer listed by Google.  Say Uncle is one of them.  A few nights ago I was using Google and trying to find information on Uncle’s buddy that got raided by the ATF. With Google I can run a query that looks like this:ATF raid site:saysuncle.com and it will only scan his indexed pages for that data. It’s very handy when you know exactly what site you’re looking for.

Alas, with Uncle not in the Google database anymore I was hosed.

It’s back to where I first started out:  Yahoo!

Since they bought their search technology from Google I can run the exact same queries that I used to. We’ll see how it goes.

Geeky stuff below the fold:
