Best Search Engine?

Favourite search engines anyone?

My personal favourite is www.google.com

Fast, Effective, Well Designed, Not too cluttered with 'Buy this!' links and stuff... Not over-commercialised, in my opinion.

Google is the best, handles boolean searches well, no crap like you said, and they run Linux and FreeBSD!!! :D

Yup. Blindingly fast too... my last search took 0.02 seconds to complete, yielding over 200,000 results!!!

if i dont find what i want on google i use webferret

google rox!!!!!!!! but the other one that i now use regurlarly for school work is www.c4.com very good!:D

I used to use IXQuick, it searches top ten stuff. But Google is a lot better, and faster, plus it comes as a default with the Opera browser.

Well for the multi-lingual among you I suggest www.alltheweb.com and of course www.google.com

www.altavista.com is ok too.

Yep, Google rules. :D Researchville is also good, it's a meta search engine, and it's possible to get the results of each engine (8) in its own window. It also has got different kind of directories and listings of those & news sites & other things. Worth of checking.
Ask Jeeves also sometimes finds something. :)

Search Engine Watch is a site dedicated to (surprisingly!) search engines. Tips, listings, resources, reviews.

And finally: Google Directory of search engines.

-ZeroOne :cool:

Not one single Yahoo! person? I feel left out.... bawling

Yahoo is *very* slow... and the whole Yahoo site takes forever to actually provide you with anything useful

http://www.dogpile.com

Dogpile is by faaaaaaar the best. Dogpile is meta-search that sreaches like 15-20 search engines for you in one go. Including google,yahoo,lycos...ect.

I have to say that I disagree with you. I have never had any problems with Yahoo being slow, and it's the only search engine I can get anything useful from. If you're on 56K, I can see some speed problems considering everything that has to load. For me, though, it works fine. Let us also not forget that Yahoo used to be powered by Google, which a lot of people seem to like so much.

Google and webferret
they have never failed me.

I mainly use google and a program called Copernic (for querying lotsa search engines).. It has lots of cool features as part of it...
of course the disadvantage of it is quite clear.. you have to have it installed......

I use Yahoo . Even using a 56k modem it is fast and I always find what I am looking for. I also have a website and two E-mail accounts with them.

my favourite is Google but if u are looking something realted to security and hacking astalavista.com

MetaCrawler <==My Fav.

Dogpile

Altalavista

i like google, but id definaely have to say that http://www.c4.com is my favorate.... with C4 you can put quote marks around your search to make it look for that exact phrase in he websie... C4 searches multiple search engines and gives you a percetage as to how acurate he search was.

Google is by far the best search engine. It loads the fastest, returns results far quicker than any other search engine, and has probably the most pages in it's index.

Go Google!

Copernic rocks, seriously it is great for finding info no search engine could find as fast. I didnt think there was many Copernic users!

Google:D

i even tried putting in frog turds to stump the engine and i got over 50 hits from that one
