I agree with Ronin,

I am personally already using other search engines for commercial and non-commercial sites. Google is now comical at best in finding a topic.. for example, when you search for widgets you get informative sites & absolute junk off topic. well, when I search for No Doc, which is a financial term, I get subjects so far off base it's painfully sad to see it in a No. 1 engine like Google. It came back with several results with the word "no" and a website link that has ".doc" in it for a top 10 listing while the sponsored or adwords have the correct thing we're looking for...
Try Alltheweb.com, Hotbot, MSN, and Altavista from now on. I bet Yahoo switches to another search engine in a couple of months. With companies & people starting to shy away from google search results, I bet they never go IPO now.
And what's worse, you have in some searches "some" commercial sites still there who offer very little "content" or information for the searched term and the other 50% are just way off topic, just a word here and there. The fall of Google has started..like AOL...like Netscape... Yahoo coould be king again if it switches to Inktomi or Alltheweb or a combo of both.
