the difference between Google and Alta Vista’s new Raging search engines by doing a search on “michael boyle montreal” and comparing the results. Google was much much better. It put my old but still nominally active personal page at the very top and caught all my hits from when I worked at CTHEORY and put them near the top too.
The best thing, though, was to see my listing in the library. I’d never seen that before – I’d forgotten that they put theses in the library.
