I would second Gary's advice somewhat buried at the end of his comment.

Do try out the search engine Vivisimo! It "clusters" related results. I
found it fascinating and do intend to introduce it to our classes doing
research.

Silverstein has made this comment for a long time. Nothing new.

From a 2003 Library Journal article:
http://digbig.com/4bacy



Craig is also one of the smartest people I've ever had the chance to
chat
with (this included a lunch at Google, yummy!). His ideas sometimes
border
on science-fiction.

See:

Btw, here's some trivia. Silverstein also maintains a frequently asked
questions page with info on the Muppets. (-:

Here's another interview:

cheers,
gary

p.s. While Google gets all of the attention, I would urge all of you
to
take some time and look/use other search tools. Have you tried
Vivisimo?
