Like a grotty data addict desperately jonesing for its next fix, Google just can't stop misbehaving

Me too. The irony of this is that now, Google as a searcher (I refuse to call it an 'engine') doesn't actually work well. Back then, the results were stunningly accurate- it was a revelation. Indexing cross links is a super effective method to get high quality results... until money corrupts the index. Then it all goes to sh't. I could forgive some of the data issues if the search worked like it used to.

Having said that, it's disturbing that some people on here don't seem to appreciate the superpower which Google's data operations yield.
