Each company has teams dedicated to continually improving their product in order to gain a bigger slice of the customer base and advertising revenue.

In the mean time, I’m still waiting for those relevant search results. You may also be interested in:

Google Social Search Phrase search (””) By putting double quotes around a set of words, you are telling Google Social Search to consider the exact words in that exact order without any change. For example, search “Free Competitions UK” will find only pages where this exact phrase is shared.

MillionShort permet d’éliminer des résultats de recherches, au choix, le million, les 100 000, les 10 000, les 1000 ou les 100 sites les plus populaires. A quoi ça sert ? A explorer les tréfonds du web. by durasbib Jan 15
