The examples were only examples, nothing more, and hence thus why I said example. I'm quite sure most readers (that aren't out with a jackboot) will get the drift of what I am saying.
If a user wants simplicity, then they will get a simple search. If a user wants an advanced and refined search, then that requires advanced knowledge of google.
If people go elsewhere, oh well. those who know how to use the search engine properly will still be here, educating those who do not know how to use it. Know why? Because eliminating all spam and fake pages from searches won't happen. It just won't due to the time it would take to check each and every page for content, much less content defeating methods.
