About cookies: I never had to accept a single cookie to use Google. Simply delete the cookie if it feels uncomfortable. I accepted some cookies from answers.google.com and iirc, they used "Only sent to creator" and "Secure". Hardly any bank is that much concerned about security! About the future: Maybe we will see some P2P search engines. I think I read about a patent for this. But the implications for privacy (and spam) might even be bigger (just think RIAA). <edited: disable graphic smile faces for this post> [edited by: luma at 10:36 pm (utc) on Aug. 29, 2002]
About PageRank: After reading about and using display:none; (and z-index:+1;) and seeing that even Netscape 4.7 supports the former, I think on-page content shouldn't count too much. It's just too easy to hide or rearrange "content". That leaves anchor text of external pages and, yes, PageRank.
