Google Earth is one of my faves, and I also have a G-Mail account, googles e-mail service
The search engine gives many wrong results and lacks a very powerfull feature, proximity search.

Care to show me a search engine that gives perfect results 100% of the time? Screw 100%, you know of any engine that can at least give as good results as Google, I'd really like to know about it.
I would also like to know how a proximity search would work without completely ripping away the rest of our fleeting privacy. It's a neat feature, sure, but the potential for abuse is just mind-bogglingly huge I would never use the service if I could help it.
I do not understand why our privacy would be in danger with a search engine where we can use something like "Google NEAR Microsoft" to only show us the pages where the word Google is near the word Microsoft, that what I was talking about, maybe I used (again) the wrong words.

As for that product you use at your work, it's proprietary isn't it? Why doesn't your company offer it to the public? If it works as good as you say it does, then it should gain popularity pretty quickly.
