With today's acquisition news, I think this is a good reminder of what happens to a lot of companies when they get acquired.

IndexTank was a good product, and it's a shame that they didn't continue with it. Yeah they open sourced everything, but that just isn't going to be the same as if the original team was still developing it.

When an acquisition happens, everyone in the valley is happy, but so often the users lose out in the end.

The Searchify team grocked the code really fast and already started improving on it.

Would you have your children stay with their 1st grade teacher all through elementary, middle and high school?

I don't agree with that analogy. To me it's more like saying that your children should have different parents through elementary/middle/high school.
