Agreed. Still, it would be nice if there were alternatives to google
more in resonance with Emacs; perhaps, since (arguably) DNS resolution
of such a behemoth as Google would be more reliable than everyone
else, we might need a couple of alternatives. Gnu.org comes to mind,
but perhaps debian.org, wikipedia.org or archive.org might qualify?
I don't have the chops to assess the ramifications of this -- perhaps
something for a discussio (not necessarily in this thread).
Cheers
