Might be simpler than the 13 or so silos a person can choose to search Google in these days. Maybe they should all be connected like they used to (appear to) be. Just a thought but simplicity may be more relevant to Google plumbing than to its public facing user interface. The upshot is not what Google wants, something like Dialog's first 13 databases on the way to 400. Making it free does not make it usable.
