would google lose a lot of money if they allowed the results to be sorted alphabetically or by date?

Google has their Answers site, but it's pay.  I'm not sure about the timing of each.

Yes, of course.  You can check the "History".  It will have the time & date, etc.  I've even gone back & opened up the exact web search they were on, seeing the misspellings they made trying to search, etc.\n\nIt's not always called history, just check around, you'll see it...in my computer now, it goes by Mon, Tues, wed, etc for like two weeks.  I go thru Start menu, to find, then type in "history" & go from there.\n\nand No, you're not being nosy, it's just something you have to do to understand what's going on at all times.  To stay on top of things, so nothing gets by ya! ;-)

there is no set time, all major search engines are constantly combing the net for updated sites, it can take from hours to days.  Best practice is to use search tags that are unique to you (if possible) try not to put your tags within frames in the main page (search engines like plain html on the main page) and if you are desperate for listings consider paying fro them, for a business this could be worthwhile (but remember only certain key words can be listed).  Hope this helps :)

No, because it will never catch Google.  Google, technologically speaking, is way out in front.

No. It is fairly easy to do if you are familiar with database design; your biggest challenges will be in how you store and order your information, not in how it will be displayed.

Pay lots of money.  Google rates their advertisers first.  Yahoo sells the ads space on the sides, top and bottom banner of the search page as does Ask and Alta Vista.

True, Google says:\n\n   Sorry, Google does not serve more than 1000 results for any query.\n\nBut here is a fast way to get way down in the list.\n\nFor example, go to Google and search for "hecate".\n\nScroll to the bottom of the screen and click on number 2\n\nNow the web address in your browser address bar will read:\n\nhttp: // www.google.com/ search?q=hecate &hl=en&lr=&safe=off &start=10 &sa=N\n\nsimply type "9" in front of the "10" in the part of the URL which reads "start=10"\n\nNow it will read "start=910", press Enter and ZOOM you are way  down the list!\n\n6sj7

I agree, google would solve most problems here.  Plus, many can't spell or put together sentences.

Just type reverse, phone, directory on your search engine. Don't pay anything because this service is free. I do it all of the time.

You could do it in the stock market trading volatile stocks like Google.  You could make it fast, but you could also lose it fast.

From time to time Google is constantly changing its algorithm and ranking factors. \n\nBlogs used to give more importance to google earlier but not now.\n\nThey check for various things before indexing blogs.\n\nSo you will have to wait for that.

Google works best for me. It ranks sites usually about the way I would want to see them and includes relevant text from the page I am searching. I have my own website and their sitemaps program and tracking tools are very useful, plus it's good to see my site in the top ten. Yahoo! stopped listing my website, and I'm not quite sure why.

Gooogle! it has always been in top. However the differences between Yahoo! and Google are becoming less. I mean Yahoo! is kool, but when it comes to searching, i prefer Google.

Absolutely. Google is a lean, mean searching machine. No frills. Yahoo's home page takes so long to open I gave up using them years ago (I'm still on dial up). I prefer a clean search page. If I wanted news and all those other links, I would go to them directly.

As a Singularity enthusiast, I understand where Google is going with this, business models should be focused on 5-10 years in the future…HOWEVER,  are we a little EARLY. There is no EPaper yet. If I look at these mags, I am not going to get the the AdSense magiv ad serving technology. I am probably going to receive look at a 1and1.com advertisement. Not sure Google is owning that attention the same way they do on-line. \n\nhttp://360.yahoo.com/jcbroogley
