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 first and then if i need to alltheweb.

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/

Before Google I used altavista and then northernlight. Since google came out that's all I use.

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.

Google and Altavista.

Google. But i like Altavista too

Google, and ONLY Google... Before it's existance I used AskJeeves and AltaVista...

I use Yahoo. I like the option of opening a new window when clicking on the results.

Used to like Yahoo but google suit my needs alot better. Not to mention www.google.com/linux . Google, usefull for everything.

Google is my main search engine.

Google is my home page.

I voted for excite because every time i search for something, excite has a lot more concise hits than google does.

holey moley! i didn't know there was anything but google

dont you guys know Altavista is google, visvrsa? its either google owns google or google owns them, either way the are using the exact same server

i always forget to type google so most the time i just end up on yahoo. too me all search engines are the same so i dont bother much

I use either Google, or Dogpile

I have been with Yahoo since day 1

altavista use google's pagerank stuff, which is patented etc.. so they have to say 'powered by google'

You can do that with Google, and others too. Right-click menu option, built into [all] browsers.

google is all i really use. occassionally i will use ask jeeves. but with that google thing on firefox it sure is easy to search it. i just feel that it is most reliable

The google toolbar in Fire Fox suits me well. Even when im not using Fire Fox at school and stuff I still use google. I think its by far the best.

Its my home page on every machines I have, home and office

what other search engine is also a verb?!?!

heh. I'm surprised it's so unanimous though. I also use yahoo because my homepage is set at my.yahoo.com, so if i'm on there, sometimes i'll type a search in there also. But if i'm browsing another site (like here) and want to search something, first place i go to (and usually the only place) is google.

I use that to search through YahooUK... Dunno why, but I don't really like Google. Maybe it's the fact they give you a cookie that don't expire until 203something that stores all your search history on your PC...

lol this is a funny post.

google, its just the easiest because firefox has it right there beside the address bar.

I only use Google. In my pre-Google days I used Lycos and Dogpile.

Edit: Wow! I was the 100th vote for Google

google all the way never really used anything elese i use yahoo for movies but im not using the search engine...

dogpile im sorry is annoying ive been to clients who had spyware that redirected to dogpile so when you did windows updates it went to dogpile...talk about annoying

Hmm... Seems to be google by a landslide... I voted google.

what was that one search engine that archived all the results. I really liked that but i lost the link

Must use that one a lot.

well i have always used yahoo... but since i joined OCC im starting to use google

google/ask jeeves most of the time Ill use msn and some other very few times.

its too easy to use google when you have firefox all you have to do is go up to the corner.

If google = fail then
ask = success
end if


Those are the perfect search engines


http://www.google.com
http://www.ask.com

It's Google and Dogpile for me

99% of the time I use Google, but I've recently started using http://www.clusty.com too. I like some of their results rankings more than google, since they have an additional table on the side that organizes your search terms by category.

No, Clusty isn't a "real" engine, they just query about 6 other search sites for your data.

I really don't like the look of Ask Jeeves or Yahoo...



Google makes me feel comfortable and all warm 'n' fuzzy inside... like this danged kitten that's sleeping on my lap.

ASk Jeeves is SLOW! im sorry, I was using it last night.

I used to have google as my homepage...then i found OCC, so i set google as my Firefox homepage and OCC as my IE one, then the beloved Google toolbar came out after that it was firefox, google, and OCC all in one
