So I built Lumigo Lumigo that:
Only shows merit-based results
Cites all sources (blogs/forums/reviews)
Never takes ad money for products results

What killer feature would make it indispensable?
How much do you care about seeing 'why' something is recommended?
Bonus Q: What's your worst product search horror story?
