Post #122,340 by ben_tilly 10/22/03 9:59:33 AM Reply	Suggested alternatives to Google? All day today, [link\|http://www.google.com/search?q=SQLite+perl\|this search] has not been squashing the obvious duplicates. Can anyone recommend a search alternative to Google that I can use while this bug is limiting the utility of Google's results?

I'm used to getting a "feel" for packages I haven't played with by doing a general search, and glancing at a few pages for complaints or praise. That doesn't work if I am told 50 gazillion times that Debian has this package...
