Update on Kagi Search. I spent a few days trying some different kinds of searches.
Pros: Excellent, specific, non-spammy results. If you're regularly doing technical, academic, or data-oriented research, this would be a great tool.

I am fascinated by this graph. Dividing American voters by thirds in wealth, we see two amazing things here. For each election since 1960, the top third and bottom third mirror each other almost precisely, one goes up, the other goes down, and vice versa. Why would that be, necessarily?
