Hoi, Recently there has been a lot of traffic about search engines. The tone of these discussions have been hostile towards Google.
I do not consider these discussions representative in how Wikipedians see the work of the commercial search engines and their impact in how Wikipedia developed. There has been great collaboration in many specific problems.
I am quite worried about the lack of facts in those speculation that usually lead to "Wikipedia vs. Yahoo/Google/whatever".
