Searching For All Things Thanksgiving
Filed under: Search Tips Thanksgiving is definitely my favorite holiday. I get to eat a lot without making any excuses and I don't have to worry about buying presents for the event or trying to stay awake when the ball drops at midnight.

Secondly, I'll be feeding eight people and my dining table only seats four people.

I've been in the search industry for a while, but I haven't been with AOL Search that long, so it's interesting to see how the product has evolved. Remember WebCrawler? And yep,
