We are currently not planning on conquering the world.
Before Google, I don't think people put much effort into the ordering of results. You might get a couple thouand results for a query. We saw that a thousand results weren't necessarily as useful as 10 good ones.
I'd like to get to a state where people think that if you've Googled something, you've researched it, and otherwise haven't, and that's it.
We deal with all varieties of information. Somebody's always upset no matter what we do. We have to make a decision; otherwise there's a never-ending debate.
