That was my first try.  "si gt ran. org" is #2 on keyword "s ig tran" so that's
good.  I like the thumbnail images in the results.  It was quick.  
If you wander around you get
slapped with Amazon marketing.  I  smell evil - as in they are
collecting information about you and using the information to "enhance"
your experience.  If they can suppress that urge to market it would be
better for them.  The best Amazon could expect from me is to be allowed
to have their logo/link on my screen more often by having a really good
non-evil search engine that eventually becomes my default s/e by having
less marketing evil.
