Other Search Engines Altavista, Alltheweb, Teoma and many other search properties exist on the internet, although nowhere near the search volume of the big 3. Discuss any other search engines here.

Default Search Engine of Choice

Whenever I need information, I either go to Yahoo or to Google. Specially with the Google toolbar neatly installed and accessible, it becomes quicker to search for anything. Search results are often satisfactory and if I don't find it in Google, I go to Yahoo, or vice versa. My friend introduced me to AskJeeves (it has been renamed, I think), which I rarely use. As for MSN, I don't really use it, unless I just logged out of my hotmail account and the homepage gets back to MSN.

Yahoo is my least favorite as I don't feel their results are good. I like G & MSN.

i agree with you.
I remember about a month ago seeing a story on the yahoo homepage but didn't have time to read it, when i came back a few hours later the story was gone from the front page, i tried searching the headline without any success.
i then seached the same headline in Google, and the number 1 result was the very story Yahoo had featured a few hours earlier!

I go Google. I'm so used to typing the word Google now that no other SE comes to mind.

Google.

If you're a power searcher (i.e., use in-depth, multiple-word searches) nothing compares, IMO.

It is pretty cool asking a machine a question and getting a million relevant answers.

In terms of personal use, I like google especially with the power searches. Although to be honest I like using the firefox add ons and the probably influence me a bit as they're mostly amed at google
