Search engine was vandal magnet
17-Nov-2008: For most of 2004-2007, the article "search engine" had been the full description about computer search engines, such as Google, Yahoo Search, Ask.com, and MSN or Live Search. However, the hacking of that article became unbearable:
 * Article "search engine" was hacked/vandalized every few days.
 * Redirecting "search engine" to article "Web search engine" caused it to be hacked every few days by October 2008.

After years of continued, intense hacking and total trashing (of anything named "search engine"), it is quite certain: the name "search engine" is an irresistable vandal-magnet. As of 14-Nov-2008, there was no longer any article on Wikipedia that still contained the full coverage about search engines. The non-stop vandalism was just too intense, and articles were hollowed and cut until most details were thinned down to dust. -Wikid77 (talk) 04:10, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
