Basically, it can be useful for finding some information. What I was really looking for was something that a replacement for the stupid WindowsXP search dog sidebar. I want an old-fashioned dialog box where I can type win*.txt and the computer will know what to look for.

Let me tell you, I love the Google company. You have a company that gives away every consumer product it has and limits its advertising to text ads only--no flashing banners, no popups. I've never gotten any spyware from Google. Basically: Google isn't evil. God bless 'em.
But if they ever do turn evil, hoo boy... Western civilization will fall. Or we'll go back to Yahoo. One and the same.
