I used to vary a while back, but in the last couple of years I have no longer found a reason to use anything but Google.

My friend is an SEO expert. He was rambling off statistics about search engines and the profile of people who use them...These were the ones I remembered:

Google is used 80% of the time for business purposes

MSN is the preferred choice of women

Yahoo generates the most $$$ off their searches for their clients

Yahoo and google are very close when u do a web search, When u do a image search alot of "flicker" photos come up the first few pages on yahoo. When i look for a pic of a plam google comes up with better pics.

I stand corrected, I have also found this to be true and use google and AOL for picture searches..

dogpile sometimes gives you too much, but I've found that's better than too little. Plus, it eliminates, at least partially, the proprietary problem.

AOL simply didn't do searches that wouldn't come up with stuff they wanted you to have, or so it seemed.

I notice that no one uses it . . . .

I'm a big fan of Dogpile since it searches google, yahoo and others at the same time.

Anyone use GoodSearch? It is powered by Yahoo and supposedly donates a certain amount to a charity you designate every time you do a search.

I found out about it in a newsletter from Save the Chimps, a chimpanzee rescue refuge here in FL

I like Google because when you search for "hardy palms," my site is first in the list, and when you click "I'm feeling lucky," my site is returned. :greenthumb:

I too only use Google in my serious searches :)

But MSN is used alot here,not for searches but for his messenger which is the most popular here...

Kostas that is something else. MSN messager (windows live messanger) which is part of windows, has nothing to do with msn web search engine.

I have used various search engines in the past. I started with Excite, then switched to Lycos, then Yahoo. I still use others on occasions, but it's almost always Google now, because they find far more results than the other engines, at least for the things I search for.

I've received yesterday the following mail:

What do you think of it?

Simona,

In my opinion it is bored teenagers fantasising about being rich, and sniggering at the thought of other people getting their hopes up.

I don't think a day goes by without a google search...AOL is a virus!

The weight of lies will bring you down / And follow you to every town / Cause nothin happens here

That doesn't happen there / So when you run make sure you run / To something and not away from

Cause lies don't need an aero plane / To chase you anywhere
