Why search engines use other search engines to search? Doesn't anyone else think that's a bit odd? It's one thing to maybe license google technology or something, because it rocks. But using another search engine from a page of a search engine seems strange.
Although, I guess it can be useful if you just want to search for results on other sites without going to a different page, but when google's already the best, why bother?:)
