With the search wars heating up, figured we'd ask was search engine/site you use most. There are well over 100 different search sites out there so I can't list them all (hence the option for other). I've provided what I feel will be the "top 10" options.

Google owns all the wannabes! I mean, not only did they start the 1g email craze, but they don't have 300 advertisements all over the place. Plus, it's very image lite, so it eases the frustrations of slow internet. Yahoo and MSN can't say that.
Plus, Google Desktop! http://desktop.google.com/ -------------------- In the 1920s, it was "Bolshevik!" Today it's "Terrorist!"

I have run a number of informal search engine trials, as I often search for obscure and esoteric stuff. Google finds things that the others, even the ones that search multiple engines, can't. MSN can't even find my website when I enter the complete url. IMO, Google has no peers among search engines.
