The one thing I find Mahalo useless for, is specific searches. Google indexes EVERYTHING it can find (unless specified by robots.txt), and add it to its index, but those include both relevant and not relevant results. For example, if I was searching for "Wordpress Email this post plugin" Mahalo would return Google results, but none from their library, because it isn't a popular term, and its specific. I like that Mahalo includes Google results - I do all my searching via Mahalo now, but it can't kill Google. They need Google, at least for now, to provide results users expect to get from other search engines (which I now call useless results), like Google. The limitations of MediaWiki seem to effect Mahalo quite a bit. For example, I am creating a Mahalo SeRP for "iPhoto": MediaWiki automatically capitalizes the first letter of the term, now its "IPhoto". Greenhouse PTGs need to include Redirect tags, to redirect searches like iPhoto, iphoto, IPHOTO, etc. Mahalo is a very cool idea though, as I said, I use it for all my searches, but a lot of the time, I find myself seeing "Results from our friends at Google."
