The haiku poets at Google have come up with a new twist on frequent flier miles. 

Soon to go public, a new counter.

Each time you come to Google, a counter will flip up, so you can tell how many searches you have done today.  (Evidently, the counter stops at 100, so if you search more than every 14.4 minutes, you may break the bank.) 

Just being tested on a few users, this cookie-counter should spark lots of competition for the honor of "most searching dude of the day."  Chris Sherman, at SearchEngineWatch.com, reports on an advance look, and the FAQ (now removed, which answered the question "What do I win" with this koan:

 "There is no winning. There is only self-awareness. The search is endless."

 For the story:
