Google user comment in 2000

<i>With most other search engines, you really need to add a "+" in front of every word in order to ensure that it's actually in the result.</i><p>How funny that Google has come full circle and now requires that too. I'm sick of Google assuming I mean one thing when I mean another, but putting + in front of words ensures they are actually in the results.

I'm 21 years old, but I feel like such a child since the first thing I thought was "Was the internet really that difficult back then"?

Man, how on earth did you find this comment?

Before Google, I remember guessing relevant-sounding URL's just as often as I remember actually using a search engine. Now if I'm looking for Volkswagen, I don't even try vw.com, volkswagen.com, etc. etc.--I just google "Volkswagen".
