For 80-90% of my queries it gets me to the same place as Google just as quickly, or more quickly in some cases

By quickly, do you mean in less time (search speed is more), or in fewer clicks (search quality is more / relevant links are above)?

I was thinking of wall time, but in general the number of clicks is the same. Again, for me. YMMV.

I suspect we all tend to search for the same types of things over and over. Ruby developers search for Ruby docs and modules, stamp collectors search for auctions and information about stamps, etc.

So I fully understand that my experience won't be shared by everyone.
