@vahnj@Fuego "Growth for growth's sake is the ecology of the cancer cell" is an phrase I learned when studying socialist economics and, amusingly, convention politics. It's a lesson in knowing your audience and understanding whether you're serving it. We're never going to be all things to all people, and "bigger audience" is not the only measure of improvement. I'd rather we figure out our success metrics and then determine if search -- or any feature -- builds towards them.
