---- Why AOL and MSN execs need to be mathematicians

I think the idea of a manually reviewed search engine (such as the way Yahoo is heading with SiteMatch) is going to put them well ahead in terms of relevancy for commercial searches. Unfortunately the large portion of the web is built up of informational sites which do not submit to search engines and which do not submit to directories. Therefore Googles method of 'crawl-em-all-sort-em-out-later' attitude will have to be adopted by MSN and AOL. Does anyone actually use directories for searching the web on a regular basis?
