I can't believe this, but I may have reached the point where I'd be willing to pay for search that isn't shit.
I think I just figured out their business plan. They want to be acquired by Apple or Amazon and have their service bundled with something else you pay for.

"Amazon Prime Search", anyone?

Oddly I was thinking the same thing. If it de-ranks sites with a lot of affiliate links I might do it. Most of my searches on Google and Bing result in affiliate advertiser blog spam. It's terrible.
I'd pay just to get the old Google Books search back the way it used to be. I'd pay just for that.
