But it doesn't work for baking. i.e. 1 cup of flour doesn't weigh what 1 cup of sugar does.

When it comes to baking breads and cakes, I've found weighing so much easier and more accurate. I just have to convert a lot of recipes first. Although America's Test Kitchen has started to include weights in all their baking recipes after I requested it on their Facebook page - which did make me happy... whether it was me that did it or not.

I'd be sure to point out the options on the left (e.g., in a "News" search, the options to limit to just blog results, or show only results from the last hour, and to sort by date instead of relevance.).

I also love the new-ish "search by image" option.
