1. Domain-specific engines is too complicated. Let's have a general purpose search engine.
2. Too many buttons is too complicated. Let's have a single search box.
3. Guessing what you want when you are anonymous is too complicated. We need your search history to tailor your search for you.
Please, search engines, hear me: you can not simplify the needs and wants of 7 billion people and zettabytes of online content into a single little shitty search box! It's too complicated!
At this point the only thing these search engines are good for is for finding the URL of something you already know the name of. It's a phone book. I type Hacker News on google, it tells me its phone number: https://news.ycombinator.com/
