They did improve somewhat afterward, however, and seem to be picking up more results and increasing relevance as more people have been testing out the engine. In the long run, I hope they get things together and perform well enough to compete with the major search engines and then maybe do some advertising. I would like to see more serious competitors to Google in order to hold their power in check and encourage more transparency overall.
