I actually meant the se, not the toolbar...however everyone has a toolbar as the lady states above...which I was agreeing too...

I did a search on momma, hit blaze search trail (1 hop)...I get a list of POPULAR SEs to choose from, so I choose 1 (1 more 'search' hop...then I probably still haven't found what I'm looking for so I have to drill down some more...(1-2 more search hops at least)...

My point was why would I want to use a se that just adds more hops to get to my search results instead of just going to a more noted se...or why not use a search page that eliminates all hops and with at least 97-99% probability will find what I am looking for on the first hop.

It would seem like SEs with less notoriety would try to make it easier for visitors to find what they are looking for more quickly and eliminate the extra searching to be a more useful tool...

As well, since I never used trexy before, search my trails did me no good...and I found that search all trails in some of my searches was very limiting...

dunno, maybe I need more time with trexy...
