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 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.

Hey, I just looked at Ask.com and I am number one for "austin real estate" and "austin homes". So I was going to say Google... but clearly Ask.com is kicking their butts in relevant search results. I am going to have to say that I only use Ask.com at this point. It is the most accurate search engine I have ever seen!

As much as it pains me to say, I personally use Google (more out of habit/laziness than anything else).


I like the concept behind Dogpile - just wish it worked better than it does.
