What can search engines could do better?

I got 12 real responses to this question, which is more than I expected since it’s a tough question.
I’m going to break out the answers into separate, small posts, starting with…

*Add direct reference data. e.g. “when is labor day?” pulls up result: “September 5, 2005″ .

I love it when the SERP answers my question and I don’t have to click through to the page! Like the way Brainboost does it. Engines are experimenting more and more with this concept, like Instant Search.
