I think it should be noted that how you use a search engine is more important than the engine you use (in most cases) .Each engine has its quirks(so read the advanced instructions) but smart use of , and, or , + ,"index of" , html ............ are the golden key Be CREATIVE in your search strings and you will be amazed at what you can find . (a tool is only as good as the person wielding it)

Just thougt since I have been using these engines for quite a while I should give my input as well.I have found that altavista overall works the best for me but then again it depends on connection,modem speeds, traffic etc..

cheers

I strongly disagree with the above statement. You wanna know how to use search engines? Go to one of my favorites.

www.mamma.com Mamma is the fastest meta-search engine on the Web. Like Metacrawler, it submits the query to dozens of search engines and returns results. In other words, it crawls through the results of other search engines to bring users a compilation of sites.

Just the tip of the iceberg.
