I was feeling this as well, but didn't pay attention _how_ bad it is.
I mean it really is... Is there ANY search engine left that returns more than 500 results for any search?
Are there any community driven search engines?
I mean at this point it can't be hard to build a better alternative...
Tried it, but returning lots of results doesn't seem to be their focus.
Now I installed OpenSearchServer and see how far a local index gets me.
The simple query "a" gets me at most 394 results at google, after letting OpenSearchServer crawl/index for just 2h I already get over 900 results for "a".
Well.. I guess it really is not hard to beat that meager 394 results.
