Thread: Popular search engine!

  1. #1

    Popular search engine!

    Hi guys,
    Whenever I need to search for any information, I use Google and at times Yahoo. Does any one use Altavista,Lycos,Infoseek,MSN etc.?
    I think majority of people use Google. Which one do you use?

    Google (force of habit; it doesn't always offer the best results).

    MSN.... They have been giving me accurate search results for the last few weeks and they give me a good bit of traffic to boot.

    I always use Google - I normally get what Im looking for. Maybe I should at least try using the other 2 big engines though.

    Google, normally. But, I have used MSN a few times recently and have liked what I saw (better results than Google).

    Yeah, since Google's being a dumb ****, I'm thinking of switching my homepage to MSN.

    I had to hunt how to add MSN to the search box in Firefox - finally found it here, for those of you who use Firefox:

    So, at least my work Firefox has MSN as the default search in that wee corner search box now

    I personally don't like MSN search results as much as google. Yahoo is good for most things, but not for shopping as it always brings up expensive stores at the top.

    Google. Then if I can't find what I want on that I use MSN. To be honest, both of them bring up the usual rubbish most of the time. Yahoo seems to be improving quite a bit these days.

    Google and MSN are the two I use. MSN sends me as much as google for traffic now as well.

    I found yahoo and msn to offer better results than google. I think Google is getting to big and overtargetted.

    I just use google out of habbit. I guess that would make it my favorite but I have never really tried any of the others.
