Thanks Emil! ;) I think a search engine comparison is a great idea, and I think we might have to stir one of those up. Thanks Emil! ;)

Lately I've read a few places that the Y! search often gives better results though, and considering it's already in Firefox it could be worth starting to compare results, and of course I wouldn't mind getting a comparison from Cybernet ;-) About the cluttering, I have also heard that in some countries the 'cluttered search portal' is a more popular layout than the simple way we Europeans and other 'westerners' like it - I believe what I heard was mostly about South Korea and Japan, but don't quote me on it please..

Like you Ashley, I am a big fan of google because, the search page loads quickly. Google better not implement such changes in my country where 128 kbps is considered to be broadband.

I work in a global company, and I'm always amazed at the different expectations that different cultures have when it comes to web design. We'll create something here in the states that we think looks clean and professional, and folks from our other divisions see it as boring and un-interesting. We'll ask to see something they like, and we'll think 'Oh, man, what a mess'. I'm becoming convinced there is no such thing as a 'globally appropriate design'.
