I totally agree with this article,however I believe subject-specific search engines will gain in popularity quickly as the “mega-search” engines deliver too many results that are not specific enough for surfers.Having to wade through hundreds if not thousands of results to find exactly what they are looking for is a tedious,boring,time consuming task.
An example:
http://www.searchtheentirecraigslist.com
One search term,specific results.Search completed,task completed.

Thank you for the information…
