If they didn't care what search engine they were using, would it be necessary to make it look so much like the google homepage?

Older people don’t understand the idea of “search engine”, they understand “google”. They don’t realize you can “google” through Bing as well. I hate it, but it is what it is.

I mean, i would describe what you are describing as them actually caring a lot what search engine they are using, but possibly out of ignorance.

Because they think it is genius.
