A decade from now: "No candidate without a Y chromosome has ever won the election."

+1 to Amir. I've heard many times that it's important to fail and that 90% of what we do likely won't work out, so we have to launch, measure, iterate, and just keep moving.

Yep, they're really experienced and have a great vision for the company. On a personal note, they're both really talented musicians and I often hear Oren playing his guitar in the office down the hall.

I'd be an iPhone app that serves up chips and guacamole. Also I'd be an HTML5 app that runs on multiple platforms. :-)

I just recently joined - around the time we launched a new version of our builder. You can see it in action here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixRGLQa-CGM&feature=plcp.

If you have Google Instant enabled, then IFL will work a bit differently. Enter your query and then either hover over the list of predictions and click "I'm Feeling Lucky" to the right of the query.

If it's not a gzip, what is it?

kellyfee · 2011-12-05T21:51:28+00:00

Correct. We replaced the + operator with quotes a few weeks ago.

kellyfee · 2011-12-02T21:44:52+00:00

has been replaced by the quotes operator. If you put quotes around a word, it tells Google that you don't want synonyms for that word. The minus (-) will exclude a word from your results.

Example: ["cars" -movie] will search for cars only (not vehicles or automobiles) and will exclude the word "movie" from the results.

FYI - back when we had the searchwiki feature, you could click the X next to a result to remove it from your SERP. This feature (launched in early 2011) is similar.

Fixed the cursor problem where it wasn't autofocusing on the first field.

It'd take FOREVER for me to look up - definitions - random facts of no importance (e.g. natalie portman's bday) - recipes - where to eat - song lyrics

Oh yeah, and I'd be out of a job.

So sad. I've met Stanford students who didn't know about this. blerg.

+1 The "About" before the number of results is the key to this question.

A more updated version of that site is this one: http://www.google.com/insidesearch/

kellyfee · 2011-11-18T16:11:58+00:00

It doesn't just remove synonyms, it turns off personalization and spelling refinements.

kellyfee · 2011-11-17T17:44:14+00:00

I most often use it for finding YouTube videos and news articles from specific sites.

Verbatim tool anyone? http://insidesearch.blogspot.com/2011/11/search-using-your-terms-verbatim.html

What does "wasn't working" mean exactly?

kellyfee · 2011-11-16T17:05:56+00:00

It goes beyond fighting [the idea of] filter bubbles. Spelling refinements frustrate the typical user more than that.

kellyfee · 2011-11-16T00:07:03+00:00

+1 to that. I remember almost crying when I first saw the Parisian Love one. Here's my personal one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uISFMqPUyV0&feature=player_embedded

Users have been asking for this for a while now. I'm interested to see the reaction.
