I had no idea that it was an acknowledged mission of search
engines to understand what constitutes "garbage information" in
your eyes and the eyes of whatever user is making the search and
filter it out. It sounds like a wonderful goal but I didn't
know it was part of search requirements per se. It would be
nice to have search capabilities that could automagically
separate sheep from goats and pre-digest all that information
for you and whisper derived nuggests of wisdom into your ear but
I disagree it is a failure of search engines that they do no
already deliver such miracles.
