What's your favorite search engine?

Aphex: Okay, so you need to search an image or whatever. Where do you go first? Personally, Google provides the best layout and easy to use site at the moment.

Google is the best.

Google. Once I used Excite, but that quickly grew old.

I use Google only for things I know exist. If I'm trying to find information on something, I use Bing.

I typically use Google.

Wolfram|Alpha. For folks wondering what it is, it's an alpha for a new set up of search engine focusing towards finding actual information and facts to provide the best response, and I've found it to be an excellent resource when it comes to academic purposes over Google.

I will be writing an argue on this new search at some point soon for the site, since it is a new, excellent endeavour to improve how humanity accesses information.

I like Wolfram but it isn't the greatest general search engine. For anything computational I use Wolfram Alpha.

I use it because the only things I tend to search for today is academic stuff, and it's the only site where more than 1 in 100 articles is really worth checking out! =D

Google because I know how to use it moderately well (yes, you can learn to use a Search engine because they are more complex than what you think).
I use Yahoo for pictures though, because personally I get better results getting pics from there.

Google is just amazing. They got everything right each step of the way, and I'll give them props for that. Lately they've been nearing the line, but all their products are amazing. I <3 Google.

Gotta agree it's all Google. The more I learn about their algorythm and how it works the crazier and more complex trying to understand it becomes. It's amazing how much they put into internet data collection. Everything from what their software tracks to Gmail accounts to YouTube video hits to incoming links are taken into account.

I guess when you have 80% of the search engine market it is gonna almost always be google in peoples replies. The thing that is scary is the amount of data they collect. Every search, the results of the search, if a person clicked. Add to that the power of googles other "tools" like analyitics, webmaster tools and they are capturing so much data that is now theirs to do with as they please. So far they have been very benign but that could change.

Google wins my heart. :P All-around, it has the best features, and there's not really anything that the other search engines have that make it worth abandoning Google. Bing does have a significantly more useful product search, but other than that, Google is ahead in every other category.
