>>Yes, for me that is the most important criterion, too (although I didn't try the new search engine yet). Many search engines will give you millions of hits in many cases, but in Google, more often than not, something relevant for your search appears within the first 10 choices.

>Exactly!
Moreover, I can't even remember Google ever claiming that they "indexed more pages than other search engines". Whether they really claimed it at one point or another is irrelevant; that was never their main argument (or their main strength).
