Not fully in agreement on two points here:

1) While there is a lot wrong with the "I'll just google it" view of research I'd hardly describe what Google/Autonomy/Other search software does as "just boolean". The level of "fuzzy logic" and "learning" software is forefront of pattern recognition and it anything but a boolean in it's nature - sure at the core all IT is just 1's and 0's but modern search engines are at the very smart end of spectrum. I'm more concerned about how they are being programmed to operate than anything else (i.e. generate advertising revenue first and foremost).

2) I'd with tiompan on defending TMA, it does turn up new stuff and by publishing existing sites and promoting rock art interest generates footfall in the areas most likely to contain new art. I've only found one panel but many people here have found and published lots of new rock art. Obviously TMA started by publishing existing well known sites but I think it's grown to become more than just a list of existing rocks.
