I use google and almost all of my hits come from google, so I am going to say google. Yahoo would be next, but they are a distant 2nd.

I prefer the search engine that brings me the best traffic. Currently Google is #1 accounting for app. 70% of traffic and Yahoo #2 with around 30%

As cunningfox mentioned, most people are not married to any one SE, if they don't find what they are looking for in Google, they quickly move over to Yahoo and vice versa. This is why I don't understand those who write off secondary players such as Yahoo

I use Google all the time. Whenever I want to search something, I would be using Google. It's just great.

I am a big google fan. Yahoo is not too bad either. But i would not recommend msn at all.

Hope i was helpful,
John

Yeah, I would have to jump on the bandwagon and say Google as well. Their universal search is great. By showing a variety of different things aside from just websites (i.e. photos, videos, etc.), it is really changing how one can find information. The only problem with this is the more space these different avenues take up means there is less slots to get your site placed on the front page of Google .

Plus, I also use their toolbar quite a bit.

I use Google. When I do need to check Yahoo, I actually Google it to find it!

Google is the best SE, no doubt about it! I also use askjeeves! It is now ask.com but its result is based on Google.
