I've used AV as my portal for years, mainly because I learned how to use the various search modifiers that let you do incredibly precise searches.

I've found the results to be less desirable for general searches, like single words or common, simple phrases. There always seem to be a few pages in the top ten that one can't imagine how they got there. The do seem less spammed out than some.
