I bet that Altavista had its highest-ever user numbers right before Google appeared on the scene.
I bet that non-digital cameras had their highest-ever sales numbers right before digital cameras hit the market.
That's the problem with all "it won't die, it's more popular than ever" arguments.
That's not the argument I made. Of course Google search can die, my point is that it isn't happening right now or in the near future.
That's an excellent point, especially since the financial cost and effort to switch search engines is effectively zero.
