Let me explain: The big problem with conventional search engines was that there was no filter, no mind judging whether the web pages that contained the search words was worthwhile or not. Indeed, there were many minds devoted to fooling whatever filters conventional search engines set up by assigning false relevance to their own web pages. Google solved this... [Semi-Daily Journal]
