Hi everyone,

i'm searching a quote from Sergey or Larry which goes something like this: "The perfect search will return exactly one result – and that is the document the user is looking for". I guess it's also mentioned in the google book by David A. Vise & Mark Malseed.
Does anyone know the exact wording of this quote ? or the page where it is mentioned ? (german translation or position in the book is also ok).

Thx so far
Toni

"We want to create the ultimate search engine that can understand anything ... some people could call that artificial intelligence ... The ultimate search engine would understand everything in the world. It would understand everything that you asked it and give you back the exact right thing instantly ... You could ask 'what should I ask Larry?' and it would tell you."
