What search engine do you use?

in the 90's i used cnet... it was more than just product reviews back then. eventually they stopped being a search engine too so i went to msn for a few years.

but now im googlin'

except sometimes bing has better search results for images. so if im looking for a specific image i'll do both.

I remember when I was like 10 years old I used alltheweb.com to find an rpg maker 2003 download :x
But uh, otherwise it's pretty much the same as everyone: google.com
 
Google, google maps, docs, used to use to OS (even though they aint affiliated)

Google makes some good products, tend to use their stuff over others

I despise Google but I love Mystery Google. If I have to search alot of things at one time I use googlegooglegooglegoogle.com though. My personal fave is still Yahoo.

The best search engine is Fizlite, hands down. It will eventually topple Google. It is becoming very popular very quickly and plans on being more dynamic than Yahoo, Google or Bing.

http://www.fizlite.com

I know you are a spambot and replying is pointless, but a site cannot be bigger than Yahoo, Google or Bing if the whole purpose of the site is to search Yahoo, Google and Bing with some shitty images and RSS feeds added in for good measure.
 
Haha there's no way they'll consider that. They do understand that part of what draws people is the fact that it's so simplistic... but at the same time I'm sure goog's trying to push other products too.

P.S. It doesn't matter if you mouse over the links... just if you move the mouse at all. However, they set it to automatically focus the cursor in the search box, so if you just start typing and don't move the mouse, you'll never see any of the other stuff. Some UX designer is a genius.

That owns :smile:
EDIT: That probably isn't a very constructive reply, right? Well, Google is just the best.
Another thing, if you want schientific results for queries, try Wolfram Alpha, if you for example enter 4x²+5x+6 you get this, a whole list of mathematical answers from that input. If you enter elephant, you get a page about elephants (academic!), but if you enter Hb Games, you get nothing. Seems like we aren't scientific enough :sad:
 
I use always Google search engine.I like this search engine because Google has huge amount of data and Google provide any information instant.Google gives also other useful services like gmail,orkut,SEO tools,Google voice,Gtalk and many more.
