A search engine like no other

10.12.07

Google has been in such a rush to expand its database of classic texts and new titles that some scanners left their own hands in the picture, notes the Times. Other texts were interrupted by folded or poorly scanned pages. Google says that these errors are being corrected.

But these are minor problems. Sure, some texts have pages missing (encouragement to buy hard copies, presumably) and some have only their front covers (only items out of copyright can be uploaded in full). But this is a search engine like no other . . .
