There are many, many, many duplicates. Try to think of all the way a single comment in a deep thread can be seen...

i.e. as a comment in a thread, on recent comments, on Frank's comments etc.???  How can a search function screen out such duplicates?

Or as a member of the thread provoked by the first comment, as a member of the thread provoked by the answer to the first comment, etc...

An inhouse search function wouldn't have such problem ; it could also be possible to use robot.txt to tell google to only index certain pages, and not others, but at the risk of losing some referrals, i.e. links that wouldn't go to those pages. I also have the impression that Scoop's URL have duplication (i.e. the same page can be accessed through various URLs), which is bad for a good ranking. Indeed, "numbered" URLs are bad from this point of view, too ; that's a secondary feature request for ET 2.0.

Linca has a good comment from the perspective of ET application. From the user perspective - solving the particular problem of finding a particular comment - there are more functions in the Google Advanced search, in particular timestamp (though it annoys me that it is so crude), more search terms and the option of not including finds that has a particular search term.
