Search engines

[-LT-]

I use Google and sometimes Yahoo for mail.
Which search engine do you use?
:gossip:

[BirdofPrey]

I use google because I have GMail and it makes a great gomepage

[Fenix]

I use Google cause that's Firefox's default.


I'm lazy like that.

[kuvasz]

I use google for the same reason Fenix does. Sometimes yahoo but only to search for a particular mail.

[Meee]

I use google, 'cause it's google, duh. I also have gmail but my homepage is about:blank, "loads" fastest and I rarely start surfing from actually searching for something (and there's that google box in FF's toolbar shoul I need to)

[PKZeppelin]

Of course, google. But where's Windows Live Search? In future we all will use internet from Google, Google OS, wear Google shirts and drink from Google cups.

[EonMaster]

Google ftw.....best search engine out there

[Joneagle_X]

I use Google because its the most tasteful, has the least ads (also consequently because it has the highest usage) and the other ones suck.

Literally, if you type the same search on different search engines, they all borrow from Google's search but are never as comprehensive.

I hate monopolies, but when everyone else sucks and it's free...

[-LT-]

BUMP

lol at the results

[Hunter]

Yeah, google rules the world :) It is really the best engine and now it even has a video search too

[longlivefenix]

i use dogpile because it rolls google, ask.com, MSN, and yahoo into one

[11-Sodium]

Google owns me.

[Light]

I remember when everyone used to use Yahoo, but now its just obsolete....

[SuccaMC]

Ya google, its teh pwnerer of search engines.

[BirdofPrey]

Yahoo isn't obsolete. Thats because it now IS google. Yes most search engines are now actually just google mirrors and use Googles database

[EonMaster]

Who has ever used Dogpile for thier searches?

I've used it a few times, and it seems to be better than google since it finds more sites. However, I prefer google since it is more popular and can usually find more information than I need.

[Hunter]

Well I don't have problem on google, it usually finds as many sites as I could never browse over.. Like 100000 :) That is enough for me, no need for more..

[Light]

Actually I don't think Google, or any other search engine is good enough...I mean, instead of words, a good search engine should find actually related articles, and not random, worthless info.

[furrer]

Yes GM_k, just give the machine human abbilities then its done

[JBL]

I use google because I use gmail and google is already there in opera. (however it's easily customisable but I'm happy with it..)

google ftw

[EonMaster]

I think google is currently the best to use, pulling up thousands of articles on whatever subject you would like to learn about. i've tried the others, but they just don't seem to be as useful as google.

btw, this is off topic, but why are a lot of people using that pimp mobile sig now. It's cool, but freaky that people start all using it on the same day.

[Rex]

I use Googleâ„¢ since it has the best results, but Yahoo usually leads to these asking things from people, such as Cheats for w/e game, and if you click on it, its a post from someone asking, and sometimes, doesn't help at all.

[josh]

You mean Yahoo! often gives results from other people blogs that has Yahoo! hostings.

[Rex]

Yea, but Googleâ„¢ gives me that quite a few times, but when you use Yahoo I think more is in the search? Well Googleâ„¢ usually gives me Wikipedia :D So I'm happy

Googleâ„¢ for life! :good:

[EonMaster]

@ Rex, however, don't always trust wikipedia for correct information. It is great for finding basic info on a topic, but since it is made by people, it could all be false. It isn't hard for someone to go into a random page, delete or edit the information, and rewrite the document with whatever they want. As proof, wikipedia has on the site a disclaimer that not all the records are true and to not take everything it says as true.

Because of this, most teachers do not allow you to use wikipedia as your online source for informational and persuasive reports, or they say it can be used, but doesn't count as one of your online references.

However, most of what you will find will be true, but just remember not to take its word as if it's gold.

[furrer]

yeah that right eonmaster. Most teachers in my country dont want we use google fo greater projects.

[Gasmaskguy]

You mean wikipedia?

[furrer]

Yes, i did mean wiki

[EonMaster]

lol, I was confused there for a second. Google is great for searches. I was trying to figure out why they wouldn't let you use it, then I read the last post.

[furrer]

Im sorry for spreating misunderstanding. I just answerd to you post, so i thought that everyone would understand it!

[-LT-]

Google is clearly winning...

[Fo®Saken]

You are right about that google is winning, but isn't there anyone who uses MSN search?
(I don't use it, but I am just a bit curious. It seems like a total failure of microsoft to me... ;))

[-LT-]

I can't believe nobody uses Yahoo! :o

[EonMaster]

I used to use yahoo when I first started using computers, but I switched over to google since their searches usually gave me better information and the search gave me topics that were closer to what I was trying to find.

[Joneagle_X]

Yahoo is actually still the preferred search engine worldwide. I think most older users use that predominantly.

Yahoo is also the host of the largest spider network, which is why you see so many spiders from Yahoo on our site and usually only one or two from Google. They share information but Yahoo is still the dominant force in searching.

And I use Google because, frankly, I like the blank page. I don't want a bunch of crap staring at me. Especially since I can hit tab and be right at the entry box.
