It’s not like the top 20 results have 6 listings from Washington Mutual (shown in red) or 4 from the New York Times (shown in blue). Nothing like actually having to look at 20 results to actually have to get 10 answers when you want a good user experience …

    url diversity is a big problem. having to go through 20-30 results to see a couple of different sites is silly. Google has a problem there.

    is that web search or news search you used? News search shows a bunch of different results, and I would hope those seeking real time WaMu or othre breaking news use News searches specifically.

    thanks for sharing.
