I use my search engine to direct me to a source. I do not expect it to be the source. That is just how my brain sees the purpose of the engine.

I can, however, understand why anyone would like it to provide you with instant factual and reliable information! That would be a godsend.

I do not trust the instant answers most of the time. I like seeing forum answers and comments, finding age in wikipedia and stumbling upon more information, and generally getting lost in the web.
