"but i suspect that keith's dislike of ads, homonym results, ... are widely shared."
I almost exclusively use Google search and I don't get "Pages and pages of ads." I wouldn't say I've never run into the homonym issue but it's not gotten to the point of frustration to call a search engine "worse than useless". There's plenty to criticize Google for, but I've moved away from the tech field and the things that I use tech for and the ways that I interact w. tech Google's stuff including Android, Google Fi, etc works really well for my day to day life. If I were a journalist, activist, etc, I wouldn't use it and don't recommend it to those types of people. About the only things tech I pay attention to anymore are privacy & security stuff.
