Google Stops Linux Searching as Linux 3 Advances

until now, I guess I won't miss it.
I stopped using it because they made it such a pain to get to, and the results got more and more disappointing..
I wanted it mostly when setting up a "new" system or at least "new" hardware (quotes because for me "new" is often "used"),
and it got moved around, from one relatively awkward to reach place to another -- bookmarks got stale, or I was on a new install without bookmarks transferred over yet, and somehow the returned results stopped being very good; I gradually slipped into the habit of using the regular search page first, and pretty much forgot about it.
Google Linux Search was killed off long ago -- they've just gotten around to sweeping out the remains.
